Fireworks Lake Worth

Last night's fireworks at Bryant Park in Lake Worth were out of this world.  I had the pleasure of viewing them from the home of good friends on N. Lakeside that overlooks the golf course. We did spot a drone but it didn't come close to the house this year. There were people on the course, some setting off little fireworks of their own.   When I arrived home, people were setting off fireworks all around my community and celebrating the greatest country on Earth.

An added treat was the drone that was launched from the Lake Worth golf course. It hovered in the sky like a space ship and then took off, going straight up at one time.  It shown as a green light in the sky. There was some fun talking about it--was it Homeland Security?  Was it the PBSO?  Was it Jon Faust? Someone was concerned and called the PBSO...thought ISIS was trolling around Lake Worth.

And, before I forget to mention it, this was the best and most spectacular fireworks display yet!   It's difficult to imagine that any city outdid Lake Worth.

Last night at the McNamara's...they have a large glassed room that goes the width of their house on the second floor that overlooks the golfcourse. We had the most magnificent spot to see all the fireworks out of the heat and away from the Third World.
