Is it they’re going with their individual tradition or just the idea of beating others to the punch and make the celebration of our country’s Independence Day last longer?
Whatever the case, having the FOURTH fall in mid-week, hump-day, is creating havoc with businesses that have employees expecting a longer weekend I suppose… That’s pure speculation on my part, since I am retired from all of that?
Any-who, having a longer than three or four day weekend with or without pay is the question, I suppose?
In this economy I would suspect that without pay is presumptuous of me, but it does seem almost logical, hmm?
Unless of course you were taking your paid vacation time off than that changes the whole enchilada, hmm?
Sounds like a plan for next time if you did not think of it for this time, right?
If I was of the work persuasion still, I would think of perhaps plan to take off this time of year with small children since school is out pretty much everywhere in this northern hemisphere, unless you count the places that have all year round school… But even those places have a few weeks here or there off… I do believe it is the law!
All year round school is a misnomer, since they still have the required one hundred and eighty days required by that above spoken of law.
The difference is the placement of holidays and vacations, which here in the US of A are different in meaning but elsewhere they mean the same thing, got that?
Here holidays are federal or religious days off or due to weather encroachments such as snow or a hurricane or a tornado days off etc… and vacation is when schools choose to close for usually our summer months for three or two and half… or for a couple of weeks then reopen and sporadically open and close throughout the year with the reasoning of your offspring’s not losing anything they tried hard to get into their soft mushy developing welcoming noggins that we so love until they do what we were priming them for, and what’s that; you so boldly ask? Why, to think for themselves and make a few mistakes that will either teach them not to do that again or have them always having to make more to learn the hard way! And the beat goes on…sound familiar?
Sure it does, as usual the more things change the more they stay the same, Déjà vu once again, ha?
And your parents threatened... that I hope that you get one just like you!
The best part of that is you can reverse that too, on your little darlings, kidding or not.
Moving on…
Yesterday Skipper went for his yearly shots and he was a good boy that is after all was said and done and so we went to Fishville where he loves and he had a marvelous time being a well behaved canine!
This morning he went for a short swim with me and Hubby did get the camera in time to take a little snap shot of our four legged son, who never ever talks back…ha! After all he is eight now and learned how to behave a while back… or not...
our own little guy!
The point of me discussing all the celebrations beginning early that are nothing new, but Charlotte County is having their fireworks on the FOURTH of JULY like many big cities do too…how about that?
Small town with big ways of doing it… get your minds out of the gutter, I meant fireworks, of course sillies!
And on that odd way to wish you all a very happy good night and a great safe evening and day and another night tomorrow night, HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, kindly allow me to ask you to count all those blessings and share all those overages and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
PS Lastly, a man that molded all of us in knowing that somehow somewhere there is good and wholesomeness and the honest will out, as his portrayals of Andy Taylor and Matlock, a dear sweet kindly human being Andy Griffith has been called up to heaven at the tender age of eighty-six and he will be sorely missed by all who were entertained by his down home charms.
