A Quickie on the Fourth

A quickie, but a goody…Martin recently flew over to CA for 3 nights to celebrate his future “in-law holiday” of the Fourth of July. Unfortunately we subsequently found out that he did not win the green card lottery, however it did not stop him from properly celebrating the three day weekend.

I picked Martin up at the airport on Friday afternoon and we drove straight up to the Lake with only a quick stop at McDonald’s for a pre-dinner snack, or what I like to call, a romantic dinner date.

The weekend was the trifecta of great: great times with Martin, great times with the family and great times at the Lake with warm weather, good food and plenty of tequila. The only thing not great about the weekend was the abnormal abundance of mosquitoes…it was as if a cloud of the blood sucking insects had descended upon Lake Pillsbury. Thankfully for me, but not so lucky for Martin, when given a choice, mosquitoes apparently prefer Martin’s diet of coffee and cake to mine of beer and salsa.

Like all things in life, when Martin was around, I was in want of nothing…including insect repellant.
