Who: Alana and whoever else shows up. (Which, depending on what happens, really could be anyone...)
What: July 4th BBQ
Where: Alana's house/backyard
When: July 4th, Sunday (6ish start time?)
Warnings: Never know what's gonna happen.
Sunday was July 4th, so the July 4th party, it was decided, had to be on Sunday. It also meant a lot of places were going to be closed on Monday to recognize the holiday, so Alana didn't feel nearly as guilty. Sure she had work the next day, but she didn't intend for that to be too big an issue.
So the last emails and phone calls had been sent out to those in the area about the BBQ backyard party that she intended, friendly dogs welcome as normal. Booze was set up inside, with the cooler full of pop outside. Bags of chips, all the dressings for burgers, a tray of store cookies, and some bagged salad was spread out on a table with plastic ware, plates and napkins. Tannia was playing with Pirate, trying to wear him out some, as Alana walked into the backyard and shook her head. "It ain't gonna work. The moment anyone else shows, he'll be off runnin' again," she mentioned.
"Should we close the side gate then?" Tannia asked.
"Naw. This way I can at least see anyone comin' in. Means I can leave the front door locked." Now the only question was, who would she end up seeing actually coming in?
