Ah, 4th of July Memories! (2010)

"One of the great things about our national holiday is the opportunity to enjoy a picnic meal and play games in the great outdoors. Something about that fresh air combined with the smell of good food – you just can’t beat it. Our family is no different – we love it!"

"And where do you think we went yesterday – some lame state park or other place like that? No way!"

"We went right down to our local 7-Eleven and set up our picnic right there in the parking lot! It was so convenient, and the great thing is you can pack extremely light – almost everything you could need is right there in the store. You have to be careful when sending your kids in to buy things, though – or they’re likely to come out with extra stuff (read: candy) everytime!"

I was at a picnic yesterday. A friend of mine tried to fix me up with his divorced sister. I met her for the first time yesterday, so it's way to soon to form an opinion, but she seems very nice, kind, educated and intelligent, thinks very well on her feet and wasn't just wanting to talk about herself. She has two grown children, the youngest just graduated college this past May. Usually, I don't ask this question on the first date, but because she was the type of person she was, I wanted to know, so I asked her what happened between her and her husband that hey divorced, but I gave her the option of not having to answer. According to her, the marriage was fine for the first 10-11 years and then he started being an abuser in many ways and one day she had just finally had enough. They were having a discussion about whatever and she said he walked up to her and shoved her into a closet door that broke 2 of her ribs. She said that was the day she decided to leave. She told me he only asked her once to stay and he would get help, but after that he just let the divorce go through and they are still friends for the sake of the kids.

I asked her for a date for next weekend, but she already had plans, so I told her I would give her a call in a few weeks after I get back in town. I am leaving here next week for a few weeks.

Never take food to a picnic.
Take plenty of wholesome drink and something to drink it from.
Never go a great distance.
Never take very young children.
Do not stay long.
Have a hearty meal as soon as you get home.

Miss the various picnics we used to have. Planning some this July, providing summer weather comes back 🤪

Cold cuts (deli meats), baguettes, garlic butter, cherry tomatoes or plum ones. Cold non-alcoholic wine (aka fancy bubbly grape drinks). Single serving wee desserts.

All enjoyed by the beautiful Clyde!
