& that's the way life goes

This past weekend was and will be my longest vacation of the summer.  The weather couldn’t have been any better.  Sunshine, blue skies and warm temperatures.  Mother Nature must have been trying to make up for the chilly summer we had last year.

I’ll just tell you that there was a lot of:

• † Laughing
• † Beer
• † Sun
• † Boating
• † New Friends
• † Jell-O Shots

There wasn’t a lot of time for

• † Cleaning
• † Arguing
• † Cooking
• † Reading
• † Sleeping

It was a pretty great weekend.  Definitely a 4th of July to remember.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July. Once upon a time this was one my favorite days. Now it just reminds me of bittersweet memories. I think I’m going to head down to the Tastefest Cityfest in the D. I hope to see some fireworks, that should probably be easy (duh), but I’ll most likely hopefully be too drunk to really SEE them.

Don’t forget to take a minute and remember why we celebrate today.  Keep our troops in your mind, they are the reason we get to do what we do.

Rock on my bloggie friends
