Welcome, July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                        Many consider July their favorite month.  School has now been psychologically blocked out of most kids' minds, and the return to it is but a glimmer in the distant future.  The focus this month is on cookouts, hot dogs, hamburgers, and fireworks.

                           For me, July has always been a fun month. It is forever associated with the annual gathering at my parents' friends, the Lammers, in South Plainfield.   Not a year goes by that I do not think of that, even though I think my last visit there was in 1983. That was 33 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             Of course, the Broadway show to listen to is "!776!!!!!!!!!!"

                              And of course, Little Edie's Sparkler Dance!!!!!!!!! Ah, Little Edie!  We love you!

                              So, here is wishing everyone the happiest and merriest of Julys!

                               Those summer nights smile three times, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
