Happiness is when the smoke dissipates and the sun comes out in town for a celebration. The bank where I work participated in our hometown parade last night. We always carry a big flag and it’s a treat to see. This was my view as we entered downtown – behind the high school marching and in front of a fire truck!
Truth be told, it was hot and humid and there’s little shade along the parade route. But I’m always glad that we do it.
We also hang another large flag on the front of our building – an awe inspiring sight!
It’s a holiday weekend and a special one to those of us in the US. Do something fun this weekend and take a moment to appreciate that freedom isn’t free.
Glad to hear the smokiness and air quality has improved, and just in time for the 4th of July celebrations. We took Friday off and headed south of the border for an extra long weekend. We’re in Cleveland at the moment and are heading back home later today.
Fun!! What did you do in Cleveland? Safe travels!
Thanks! We went to the art museum, botanical gardens, Great Lakes Science Centre and the USS COD. The weather wasn’t the greatest as it was hot, humid and very rainy, but it was nice that there were plenty of museums to choose from to keep us entertained and dry.
That’s one of the best things about cities- there are plenty of indoor activities!
