happy 4th!



4th of july brings back way too many vivid memories of where i should be.. at my river house, this is what the day means to me....red/white/blue all around, parade on the dirt road, yankie doodle dandy, paper hats, sparklers, watermelon seed spitting, popsicles, smelling like sunblock, napping on the porch with the fan blasting on you, picking crabs, salt water, dancin on the pier all night until the sun comes up, generations of families, a little piece of americana...

Too many years have gone by. I too miss dirt roads, bottle rockets on the boat beach, and waking up on the pier at sunrise.

I was thinking the other day that the walk to your cottage seemed so far as kids. Now that I am older I realize, it was only about 100 yards......
