My Fourth of July | Jerry Spinelli
5 posts | 1 read
Picnics! Singing! Fireworks! It's time to celebrate the best day of all--the Fourth of July! Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli and award-winning illustrator Larry Day join forces to celebrate America's birthday, the Fourth of July. A responsible little boy who's eager to do his part wakes up joyful and ready to celebrate his favorite day of all. But there's a lot of work to do--pies to be baked, deviled eggs to be filled--and the boy has lots of jobs to complete before he can enjoy the fun . . . the world's best picnic! Face painting! A band concert! And then, after what seems like the longest wait ever . . . he can kick back and enjoy the fireworks with the rest of the country. This delicious and spirited book celebrates small town America and is full of nostalgia for times gone by, yet absolutely of the moment.

1. Waterfall in my favorite spot in Botanic Garden.
2. Just back from Kopp‘s in Milwaukee. Amazing birthday cake ice cream flavor with actual pieces of yellow cake in it!
3. We think we finally got rid of the family of raccoons that were living under the deck.
4. Husband had two biopsies of strange growths on his skin, turned out ok.
5. Planning annual trip to Seattle to visit my son, going overnite to Leavenworth.

AmyG Glad your husband is ok. 😬 And racoons….we had a mom give birth in our attic. Be happy they are under the deck. And gone! 5d
peaKnit Yay! We are headed to Brookfield shortly for the same! Glad your husband‘s biopsies were okay! 5d

Lesliereadsalot @peaKnit two thanks: one for the kind thought and one for the ice cream recommendation. Enjoy your big scoop! PS I would‘ve had a cone but I had a hamburger too. 5d
peaKnit Oh yum, their hamburgers are so good but also super sized! Definitely might get in the way of dessert :) 5d

I definitely prefer a good cheeseburger!! Lettuce, tomato, mayo... mmm

I prefer GOOD fireworks but because those are cancelled this year, I will be enjoying some sparklers!

My favorite way to cool off is the pool but because that‘s out of the question right now, I have been reading in the air conditioning!!

A summer to remember for sure.
