Hot Town Summer in the City

---

July 2009 was another fun month for the Dorsey's.

Of course, we started the month with a Fourth of July Parade in Dunwoody. For the last few years we have joined Melissa and family near the same spot on Mount Vernon to watch the parade. It seems to get better each year. It gives you a good small town feeling. The kids love it too.

The next week we had a small party for Ted’s birthday. Melissa had arranged to have a blow up jumping thing for the kids to play in. I noticed at one point that Jackie was in there jumping with the kids. I ignored her later when she said her back hurt. She doesn’t listen to me.

Ted had fun with the family joining in. He got lots of presents and a nice cake.
