Looking Forward to Summer

Now that Easter is in the past it is time to look forward to summer. In my mind the coming summer season is a time to relax until the holiday routines start again with Halloween. You know how it goes, right? Halloween with the need to get great candy and smile at all the kids. Thanksgiving with families gathered round the table and cooking, lots and lots of cooking. Christmas with the pressures of decorating and gift giving and receiving. Next is New Years when the young are excited to stay up so late and older folks like me would rather be in bed by about 9. Last in the line up is Easter which was just celebrated with bunnies, eggs and chocolate.

Summer bracketed at the beginning with Memorial Day and at the end with Labor Day does get interrupted by what I think of as the best holiday of all, the 4th of July. To say that I countdown to the 4th like a kid waiting for Santa might be a bit of an understatement. Follow along here and let's see if I can convince you about how great this day is okay?

• Clothes for the day are casual and comfy like the 4th of July shirts available from The Flag Shirt.com.
• Most towns large and small start the morning with a parade and I love parades!
• Easy food with friends and family is the order of the day. Picnics or a barbecue it all sounds good to me.
• The evening includes fireworks in most places. Big displays overhead with the local radio stations playing music or kids in the backyard with sparklers. It is all bold, bright and fun!
• The day ends with tired, well fed and maybe slightly sunburned Americans ready to do it all again next year. 

Are you looking forward to the 4th now too?


Back with more again soon. Take care and stay cozy!
