This year we are celebrating the fourth of July on the Lake. We have food, swim rings, bug spray and a great spot on the beach with a view of the fireworks. I miss watching the big show in Washington DC at the monument, but this show lasts 20 minutes and we don’t have to fight the crowds of people. It’s much more peaceful and refreshing to be at the Lake.

Happy Halloween
We always get several dozen kids ringing our doorbell on Halloween night, looking for handouts. I like to pass out the fun sized candy bars. I make sure that they are all peanut free because I know that a lot of people have allergies to peanuts. I put all of the goodies in a large bowl near the door and I let the kids reach in with one hand and grab a handful. If the kid is really little I’ll let the kid take two handfuls. By nine pm the porch lights go out and I head to bed, hoping that when we get up in the morning the mailbox will still be intact and the cars un-egged and unvandalized. So far we’ve been lucky; but some of our neighbors have not been so fortunate in years past. I guess the kids didn’t like their candy!

A dream vacation
When I was just sixteen, my parents bought me a motorcycle. I loved riding that bike! I found a Motorcycle Tours company called Eagle Rider that rents Harley Davidson motorcycles for dream vacation trips! I’d love to rent a Harley on a vacation and be an Eagle Rider for a few days! According to their website they also rent ATVs, dirt bikes, watercraft, snowmobiles, and scooters. I’ve bookmarked the site for future reference when planning my next vacation!

Happy Father’s Day to all!
Today is Father’s Day! I would like to take this opportunity to wish any and all fathers a Happy Father’s Day. I will be remembering my own dear father today, who passed away in 1980, at the way too young age of 54. He died of cancer, never having smoked a cigarette in his entire life. I loved him dearly and miss him awfully. If I lived close enough to the cemetery, I’d be putting flowers on his grave today, but I don’t live close enough. So having him in my thoughts has to be good enough.
