June Wrap Up

I'm loving this hot weather we are having in Wisconsin.  It's perfect for sitting outside after work, sipping ice tea and reading.  It always makes me sad in winter when I leave for work in the dark and return home from work in the dark, so I'm trying to soak up the sun as much as I can.  I'm extremely excited for the 4th of July and all the fireworks!  I absolutely adore fireworks and try to see as many displays as I can over the summer.  In Milwaukee, the 4th of July also means Summerfest, which is the world's largest music festival.  So I'll be sure to head over there a couple of times to relax by the lake and listen to some great music.
