I love the Fourth of July. We always get to gather around family and friends, eat good food and celebrate the night with fireworks. I only remember one Fourth of July that is rained. I believe they just shot off all the fireworks the next night. So we got an extra day to celebrate our country’s birthday!

Most of the time I only want a hot dog when I’m at a ball game. but for some reason I have been craving a hot dog today. I want a big one, like the Oscar Mayer bun length all beef franks. I want the bun to be fresh and soft and steamed with the dog in it. Then I’ll put a stripe of ketchup and a few dabs of yellow mustard on top, and enjoy a serving of pork and beans on the side. Now, that’s a great lunch for a summer weekend!

Today we thank our soldiers for serving their country. It is a somber holiday for people who have lost a loved one to war or accidental death while in the service. We lost our father many years ago to Cancer, but he served our country in the war and I think of him fondly on every Memorial Day.

Well it looks like it’s going to be a great Labor Day weekend for us.  Every room is booked and in fact, I had more calls for reservations than I had rooms.  Luckily some of them took dates for next weekend and some went ahead and booked for Halloween weekend and even Thanksgiving.

I hope that each and every one of you has a safe and happy Labor Day.  Unfortunately it’s also the sign of Autumn beginning but that’s okay.  All things must change!!
