120 days to go

When I was little I loved to 4th and 24th of July. We lived close to Derks Park (now the Bee's stadium). The best fireworks in town were at Derks. We would take a big fluffy quilt up on our roof and watch them as a family. Yup the best seat in town, the roof of my house. A watermelon bust, as grama always called it, usually went along with the festivities. I can remember it like it was yesterday.
