HOW WILL YOU CELEBRATE JULY 4th?
I want to know. Because, when it comes to that date,
I live vicariously through YOU.
Why?
Because, as Mark Twain is famous for never saying,
“The coldest winter I ever spent was
a summer in San Francisco.”
HE WAS SO RIGHT.
On the years in which we
stay in the city, we button up our overcoats,
scarves, and hats, and watch
the fireworks go up into the clouds.
This year we'll visit a dear pal who was born on that day.
She lives in Sausalito, so we we'll watch the fireworks
from shot over Richardson Bay fromher fabulous deck.
She can also see Oakland's fireworks and San Francisco's.
Talk about a triple whammy—
But only if there isn't any fog.
And let's face it: there is ALWAYS fog
on San Francisco's 4th of July.
Just ask my niece.
When she was twelve,
shivering, through chattering teeth, she exclaimed,
“Aunt Josie, I've never had to wear a coat
on Independence Day until I came here.”
She was too polite to mention the hat, scarf and mittens too.
To celebrate the long weekend,
I've kept certain books at bargain prices.
You'll find them below.
Will you see a parade?
or have a picnic, or barbecue?
Will you watch fireworks?
Thanks for sharing,
