Source of July

Well, now, it isn't supposed to rain on the 4th of July. What about our fireworks? What about our s'mores? It was a pity. After a perfectly lovely day of family and friends, it had to rain on our fire. It certainly upset our 4 1/2 year old granddaughter -- who also calls the 4th of July the Source of July. She cried and was quite sad. She had to come back the next night to do s'mores, and it rained again. How can you get through that disappointment? She didn't even blink an eye. She said, "Well, it's raining again. I guess I'll just have to come back another day." No fits, not even one tear. I love it that she likes to come to our house to spend time. She is unpredictable and quite adorable. I love spending time with our family. It makes my holiday and it makes my day.

Next week, we are celebrating the 30th birthday of my niece. Another family get-together, another cookout. No, I never tire of being with them.
