AMAZING 4TH OF JULY 2024

 In retrospect my 4th of July has been truly amazing! As I sit here writing my blog I can hear fireworks in a distance. Never before do I recall this experience in WB. The first victory came with the Sox defeating the Marlins 6-5 in 11innings. Drove to Birch Hill to Josh's in my Allante' not knowing to expect. Rain or not we enjoyed a campfire and visiting friends. The topic was about presidential politics. Came home to watch Yankee Doodle Dandy which further inspired my patriotic spirit. After watching the movie, I settled in to watching A Capital Fourth on PBS.  Tonight's fireworks continue in WB. A wonderful Fourth of July for yours truly! "We Are Family!" Tomorrow night in the Bronx we face the New York Yankees. Go Sox!

RED SOX "TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS"

The highlight of this Wednesday is the Red Sox showing what it is to win! Their victory over the Marlins shows Bello pitched a good game 7-2. Tomorrow the final game will be at 1:00 PM on the Fourth of July then it will be off to New York and the Yankees. My day at Hannaford NB drew attraction with my Patriotic outfit. Did drive the Allante' to Birch Hill. Evie and Miley were the only two around. Josh, too, was gone to Hannaford in Heidi's jeep. I did meet him on my way home. "Chase Robert was on the lake in the family boat. Tomorrow is the day we've all been waiting for: The Fourth of July! I will return to Birch Hill not knowing what's in store. HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, AMERICANS!

INSPIRATIONAL TUESDAY

 My Tuesday was full of surprises! I was eager to see if my monthly stipends were posted at NBSB and they were. This deposit gives me strength at a time when others rely on card charges. Not me! I sat out in the blazing sunshine for about 20 minutes before deciding if I would go to The Clam Box. I did and saw Lily Potvin! My order was for scallops and fries. Lily was all smiles. Listening to patriotic music on channel 1941 further beefed my patriotic flair only to be increased with the Red Sox victory over the Marlins 8-3. My Tuesday was a winner all the way around. Tomorrow I must travel to Hannaford NB for some food and hopeful cards to celebrate our Independence.

A LETTER FROM THE WHITE HOUSE

Today I received a letter from The White House! In part the letter from President Biden reads" I have never been more optimistic about our Nation's future than I am today. We just have to remember who we are. We are the United States of America, and there is nothing beyond our capacity when we work together. Keep the faith! Sincerely. Joe Biden.

JULY MONDAY

It was disappointing to learn nothing of my monthly stipend hadn't been posted! Maybe tomorrow?  This Monday offered me a variety of choices both on YouTube and watching Monday Baseball with Toronto was celebrating Canada Day and offering the Astros defeating the Blue Jays 3-1. I did sit out in the sunshine for some 20 minutes. A call from Josh inviting me up to Birch Hill for a cheeseburger and seltzer. Miley stole the show once more until Chase Robert arrived. He joined in the conversation and showed me a picture of the POTVIN GOLD sign in his studio. This July Monday was rewarding!
