Thanks for reminding me. Even though we are having 100 degree days, we have a slight breeze and late afternoon showers which helps some.

I too wish people would be more concerned with what is really happening instead of the tackiness of such things as Caitlyn. I find this disheartening that we call such things courage and bravery. I feel sad for him and others like him. We usually watch fireworks from our deck, however, the rain has flooded the usual place where they are done and the location will be different this year. :-(Nonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020639587130083388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-74628979929831794622015-07-01T07:26:33.181-04:002015-07-01T07:26:33.181-04:00I loved your acrostic.
