Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours

Thank you for all of your support. Thank you for stopping by day in and day out to see what I am going to ramble on about today. Thank you for being there when I needed you most. Thank you for listening when I only needed an ear. Thank you for helping me see through things. Thank you for telling me to just shut up and do it. Thank you for being you. Thank you to my family for always being there. Thank you to the soldiers serving their country now and before. I am thankful for having all of you in my life.

Thank you Turkey for being golden brown and so juicy…

Have a great Thanksgiving.

Middletown Fireworks and Frederick 4th of July

Middletown put on an enjoyable evening of festivities complimented with some background music on Saturday night.   The weather was very cooperative.  We grilled at home and headed down to the park afterwards.  We picked our spot on the open field of the park east of the lake along Coblentz Road.  The park was not crowded at all and we had a perfect view.  The fireworks were, in my opinion, far superior to other surrounding towns.  Unfortunately the evening ended with the sounds of an ambulance.  I am guessing someone was burnt by some of the low flying sparks from the display. 

I am glad we got them in, as it seems the weather won’t be too cooperative Wednesday for the Frederick City fireworks at Baker Park.   They have an old band from my past lined up as the Headliner performance.  How many of you remember Blue Oyster Cult?  They kick off at 5:15 by the Bell Tower.  For all of you Country Folk, WFRE will have their stage set up by the pool in the Soccer Fields.  Their headliner, Mark Wills,  starts at 7:00 PM.   You can get all the details for Frederick’s Celebration on their website It has the list of events for the whole day at Baker Park.   I think this is new this year, there will be another stage setup on the baseball fields past Culler Lake.  Their venue is more alternative and rock.   The days events kick off at noon at Bandshell.  Come early stake out your real estate for the fireworks. 

If your not into the crowds, Overlook off Himes has a decent view of the park. 

Here’s some of my shots of the fireworks…don’t laugh, it’s tough filming Fireworks effectively…enjoy.
