Happy 4th of July Everyone!!

We're now chillin' on the Atlantic shore. With a direct view of Harrington Bay, and NO RAIN, I am already starting to feel more relaxed.

Not that the scenic loop drive, the walk along Bar Harbor, the kayak trip on Acadia's Jordan Pond, and the twelve mile bike ride on the Carriage Roads around Eagle Lake were not relaxing, but -- one can run around TOO MUCH. (Whew! I'm almost grateful for the rainy forecast coming up.)

Even with today's overcast skies, this is a true "vacationland."...

It's that time of year once again. Time for burgers on the grill and fresh watermelon. Time for a good parade to get us all in the mood for patriotism and what we still believe in as Americans. Time to take pride in our great nation.

July 4 is upon us again for another year, folks. Take time to pause and reflect, and also, to celebrate the birth of America with your family and friends. Enjoy this weekend!
