Happy Fourth of July!
Wishing everyone a fun & safe holiday today…
especially with the current heatwave we’re in the middle of… hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!!
Me?… I’ll be headed down to Chenoa in central Illinois, where it’s even hotter, and spending
the day with my friends form college and their kids. It’s pretty much a Norman Rockwell
Fourth of July! Complete with a parade that includes any kid who wants to decorate their bike,
those crazy Shriners in their teeny tiny cars, local politicians, girls scouts, boy scouts, and
seemingly every large farm vehicle from the surrounding towns! Followed by a flea market,
corn dogs, carnival rides, cotton candy, lemon shake-ups and fireworks at night…
at least if they don’t cancel them due to the heat & dryness.
