Fashionably 233 years old

The 4th of July…I never know what I really think about this holiday. In many ways it is another one of those days where the anticipation is always greater than the event…that is until the fireworks go off and you live in a town where fireworks are legal and the night sky and street light up with magic! That part never fails. The hot dogs never fail. The rest of the day can be a crap shot.

I am also not a big fan of the whole red, white and blue fashion combo….unless it is on our flag and then it can bring tears. It is beautiful and it is as American as front porches, main street parades, apple pie and baseball.

Not everyone has a front porch. Some do very well with what they have.

A complete parade all in one wagon.

I love hot dogs…really, really love them!

But I always leave room for barbequed lobster.

Oooo…ahhh…red, white and blue looks FAB like this!

Happy Birthday to us…

My wish when I blow out my sparkler this year is that  we will all be willing to do our part to make next year a better one for everyone, everywhere.
