Wishing you all a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!

The plans here: Our town has a huge fireworks show out over the lake and our driveway is one of the best viewing spots in town. We are having about a dozen friends and family down for junk food, drinks, mosquitoes, oppressive heat and humidity, and the horrific sight of the youngsters setting themselves ablaze with sparklers and other cheaply made Chinese fireworks.

Good times.
