Most especially to those readers who emailed in to wish ME a happy Fourth.

Yesterday, my son’s 11th birthday, we all went off to Hersheypark (it’s written like that, all one word, on the signposts) in Pennsylvania for a day of fun.

Today we are headed over to some friends’ house for a barbecue. Storms are forecast for later, so we’re not sure how this will work out, but we’re determined to enjoy it regardless.

Happy Fourth everyone!
