More often than not when Dianne and I are making plans to drive somewhere for a day trip, an afternoon or an evening drive, we usually think about “water”…maybe it’s Boston harbor, a South Shore beach or the canal. Each has its own special draw.

When I was a kid, July 4th and the few days around the 4th were always very special. As I grew older, I learned that July 4th was more than just fireworks and hot dogs, however, that conversation can be for another time.

It’s been two years since Halloween was last celebrated in a normal fashion. Some say Halloween is for the kids but it’s also for the adults who enjoy chatting with the costumed visitors.

Happy July 4^th! This is such a special day and time of the year. Kids are out of school for the summer and the weather for “July 4^th week” has always been sunny, hot and very summer-like…at least that is the way I always remember it as a kid.

In a word, yes! However, I’m going to start off with my complaints about Hallmark Christmas movies…I said complaints, plural, just because there are so many. The commercials! They last forever and there must be at least 40, maybe more, interrupting every 2-hour movie. That’s it, no other complaints.

Thanksgiving Day, traveling to be with family, high school football rivalries, family gatherings for dinner or dessert or for both dinner and dessert, some flag football in the back yard or football games on TV, more dessert and lots of conversation and lots of laughs!
