Happy 4th of July!
The holiday that says you are surrounded by summer. Independence from school and work, and from  extra layers of clothing (unless you live in Portland, OR and then you are still wearing a hoodie).

All the things I miss:
Friends & Family
Crashing Atlantic ocean waves that sweep you off your feet
Abundant blueberries
Sweet, sweet corn on the cob
Soft Shell Crabs

Lobster
Little Necks on the half shell, with lots of cocktail sauce
Sparklers
Air conditioning
Ice cubes
Port Town Lerchi
All the things I have close to home:
The sea of choice…Adriatic & Mediterranean, or one of those delicious little islands
