4th of July in NYC
The temperature in New York City has climbed to 94 degrees – Summer can be very insistent. I’m looking forward to visiting a friend’s apartment this evening to enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the most glorious fireworks show in the world – at least in the States. It never fails to thrill.
The city is incredibly quiet this weekend. It seems that most people have scurried out of its limits to enjoy a countryside celebration. I recall one year I was out on Long Island in a sweet little town called Northport where they staged a good old-fashioned 4th of July parade. All the kids decorated their bicycles, wheelbarrows, grocery carts, trailers, Dad’s truck and anything that had wheels. Even the dogs got into costume. That was the year of the 101 Dalmatian movie remake so they gathered up as many of the spotted hounds as possible. They didn’t quite make 101 but they were adorable, nonetheless.
This is a day for barbecues, beaches, backyards and front stoops. Hopefully, the sun is out in your neighborhood and your celebration is underway or at least in the makings. Have a fabulous day but please take a moment to say a silent prayer of thanks for our freedom and another one to keep our brave soldiers safe.
