I hope you have had a wonderful Fourth. I am sure there were no dull moments there on the lake. We are hoping for rain. I am wondering if we might need to learn rain dancing. 😉 Mary @ Hilltop Post
So nice you can celebrate. Germans certainly don´t have such a date... Hope the lake wasn´t too crowded and loud and you could enjoy - hugs to you and the lake.
awesome years ago before retirement I loved to watch the firework on the tv-from Milwaukee which was cool as they shot them off over the lake on large ships and also they would show them in Chicago too
