Happy New Year! Yes, it is summer time, a goofy time of year, when anything can happen. The shimmering heat can make time stand still and the future seem like a distant oasis. It might be fun to celebrate Christmas in July or August by a pool instead of near a tree. I predict Katie will get her portfolio done on time. Good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise. I hope she can cut herself some slack then; just dip her toes in a pool,read a book, and drink lots of sweet tea.
The Fiddler cousins are all creative and very talented. It is a joy to see what they are doing with their lives. Most of them are approaching thirty or are already there. Where did the time go? They deal with life's challenges gracefully. They have enthusiasm for life. It is good to see.
The Aunts and Uncles can all take a bow. They have happily, and richly, contributed to the development of their nieces and nephews. It does take a village to raise a child. A toast to the Fiddler family. Raise glasses everyone.
The fourth of July is almost here. I hope everyone can pause, take a deep breath, and enjoy the simple pleaure of being alive.

Ah the 4th of July a time to celebrate our independence, yeah right, another myth. How can you be independent when you can barely afford a tank of gas. I read an article today that said people will start leaving the small towns due to the high cost of fuel. It will be the end of americana. Now granted I would like to leave small town america, but it is one thing to move because you want to and another thing to move because you feel you have to in order to support your family. I saw a story about a guy who had bought a converter so he could use vegetable oil to run his car. He had made two trips across the U.S. on grease, but his car smelled like french fries or fish. He said you could smell the car before you got in, yikes! Anyone have any exciting plans for the fourth? We will probably grill and make some mint voldka daiqaris and sit on the deck and watch the stars. Enjoy the holiday.
