The American Holiday



Well, it is that time again. It is roughly halfway through summer vacation! Unbelievable! It goes faster every year. It's time to watch the fireworks, eat hot dogs and apple pie, and enjoy a tall glass of lemonade. My family and I were lucky enough to get to watch some good fireworks over the weekend in my wife's hometown. We got pretty close and had a good view. I tried for the first time to take pictures of fireworks and they came out pretty good. The picture above was of the finale. The show was short but there were no delays in between. It also sounds like these spring temperatures are about to give way to more summer like temps. Hey, what do you expect? It is July! Enjoy the rest of summer. Catch fireflies, eat some ice cold watermelon, run through the sprinkler, go swimming, go on a picnic, go to the park, go for a long walk, sit on the porch and enjoy the summer sounds. Why do all these things? You should do them now because before you know it it will be snowing and unbearably cold! Time flies and I think many of us forget how short life is.
