July 4th is without a doubt one of my favorite holidays! For one thing it celebrates the founding of the greatest country in the history of the world! But I also like the fact that it is a holiday where the focus is also on having fun without getting dressed up or having to do a lot of shopping or anything like that. Yesterday was a day that was so ultimately perfect one couldn't have hoped for anything better. After nearly a solid month of drizzle and downpours and temperatures more often found in April, we had a solid, sunny and warm day that made you realize how gorgeous a summer can be in New England.
The other great thing about July 4th is all the fireworks. Newton usually has a great show and while I will say last night's show was fun and interesting, it was much more restrained than in years past. Maybe it was budgetary but I think it was yet another example of Mayor Cohen's getting even with the voters who refused to push through another tax increase last year. I also can not believe that the fair at the playground did not have a french fry stand. I was really looking forward towards a random dose of heart stopping deep fried starch.
There were lots of items on the menu but the best by far was the brisket we received from Tennessee BBQ. It was moist and very succulent and the sauce added just the right compliment to the brisket. The usual holiday desserts were there and boy they were good as well!
So luckily today is a day to just relax and take things easy. I think digestion is the word of the day! I will not ruin the day by talking about the Red Sox!
