My Land, My Rules

Was there a red, white, and blue theme tonight? Yes, there was, though decorations weren't really Nell's thing. There was definitely the fixings for strawberry and blueberry shortcake, though, and the icing on the brownies was red, white, and blue.

Everything was carefully planned to be easy to transport since she hoped the weather would be decent enough that they could watch fireworks from her roof. She knew Iggy couldn't see them, but he'd still be able to hear them at least. They might even be able to see several displays from across the causeway.

And if people didn't want to stay that late she'd slip up there on her own when it was time.

Nell had everything clean and ready to go by the time people were to arrive. She'd made a batch of vegan brownies since the Detective was planning to join them tonight and she wanted to make sure he could have something sweet as well should he choose.

She was bustling along as usual and marveling once again at the sheer amazement and wonder of not only having friends, but being able to have them at her house without fear of reprisal. It was a good feeling, even if there was a tinge of sadness over other things.

Nell also couldn't help but smile after hearing on radio that apparently one of the classes yesterday had been about baseball. Maybe they all should have attended!
