Sunshine and Dynamite.....

Happy Birthday, America!

Should have said that yesterday. 

Well, I did, just not on here. 

Judging by the arsenal of fireworks currently going off outside, our neighbors aren't finished celebrating. 

I expect to hear dynamite soon. 

It will make the 3rd night in a row. 

No, I'm not kidding. 

The first night, I was SOUND asleep when it went off. 

It sounded just like it was right outside. 

You wanna know why? Because it was. 

Last night, I was awake, reading, when it went off. 

I swear, I thought somebody had ran into our pier, or our jetskis had fallen out of the lift. 

Why would one want to blow up dynamite? I have no idea. 

Despite the dynamite, it has been a great weekend around The Nest. 

We spent America's birthday on the 
water. 


Lots of sunshine, blue skies, and beautiful sunsets. 


Last night, we rode with friends on their boat to watch our city's firework celebration. 


We had a great time and the fireworks were awesome!

There's just something about being on the water, whether it's during the day or night, that makes everything better. 

Watching fireworks is no different. 

I'm thankful we are blessed with this treasure, called the river, in our backyard, and I am even more thankful for family and good friends to share it with. 

I hope you were able to celebrate America's birthday with those you love, doing what you love, Blog Friends. 

Love you MUCH,
