One last time for the young and old to put their hands in the sand and feel the sun’s warmth on their backs.

Lots of kids are already back at school, and those who aren’t will probably return this coming week. Thankfully, the clouds and rain will fade, and the holiday weekend will be there for all to enjoy.

We won’t be fighting the crowds this weekend, staying home and local if we do venture out. Lots of work to do with company coming Sunday.

I will be firing up the grill each of the next 3 days. A full supply of charcoal is on hand and I’m going to try a few new items.

Every holiday this year has been a real treat. I used to work a lot of holidays. So being off for each one now, I can enjoy it and relax with others.
