July 1 Winner

The winner of the July 1 drawing is Barb Steinmetz. Congratulations, Barb! I’ll post details for the next drawing soon.

Happy Canada Day to all my friends up north. This day also kicks off the long Independence Day weekend celebration here in the U.S. We’ll be celebrating rather quietly here. Tonight my husband, son and I will follow a family tradition and watch the fireworks display at the high school football field in our town in central Arkansas, usually followed by an ice cream treat at the local Sonic. With our daughters living on different coasts now, it’s just the three of us. Our son will be in his own apartment and a busy medical student this time next year, so we’ll savor this little family ritual with him tonight.

Whatever holiday you’re celebrating this weekend, I hope you find time to appreciate the simple pleasures. Stay safe! I hope you’ll visit me here again soon.
