That sounds like the perfect July 4 treat.

Fireworks are banned in the city and county, but fools will ignore the rules and dangers anyway. Our cats will likely spend the late afternoon and night under the bed. We’ll have burgers, potato salad and homemade pies for dessert, we made both rhubarb and key lime. And we’ll have lots of sun tea.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-78364355997602283192021-07-04T16:36:50.378-04:002021-07-04T16:36:50.378-04:00Somehow I picture him naked, except for a cape.

The tech director prevailed on the flag store lady to open up for the 5 minutes it would take him to get the flag. We're sending her flowers on July 6, when she reopens for real. Remember the backstage mantra: If it looks good to the audience, it's all good. The audience loved it.<br /><br />Now I want Mexican food!Gigi Norwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495357787099352860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-65334330850270595122021-07-04T16:29:02.741-04:002021-07-04T16:29:02.741-04:00What?

When my Am. Lit. students, juniors, read Abigail Adams' letters with "remember the ladies," I'd ask how long it took for women to get the equality she was proposing. Some said 1920s, nope, just the vote. Finally, they were appalled to realize the Equal Rights Amendment still hadn't (and still hasn't) passed. <br />Happy 4th aka Ungrateful Upstart Colonists Day ;-) <br />May we grant all the freedom we celebrate. <3Mary Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952344253284240716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-31815543040747924672021-07-04T13:54:02.479-04:002021-07-04T13:54:02.479-04:00Jay, you are a very sweet man disguised as a curmu...Jay, you <i>are</i> a very sweet man disguised as a curmudgeon.

Around 8pm, we walk to the Eastern Prom with picnic blankets, bug dope and some cold beers to listen to the Portland Symphony Orchestra and see the fireworks. <br /><br />This year: no party, no PSO, it's 58F and raining, and the Maine Millennial is working until 7pm. But they can't stop our 8pm watch party of Roland Emmerich's classic! "This...will be...our Independence Day!"Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553268569509053159noreply@blogger.com
