We had lots of BBQ’s and family would visit our home in Suburbia. Dad would spend hours at the grill. Spiffy shoes Mr. B.!

EDITORIAL
This week we took a look at the office, took a road
trip, ate cake and today celebrated the 4th.
We are going to recognize the 4th by looking forward to a ferry trip to Long Island City… or maybe points farther away.
We will be at the Visitor Center all weekend to greet the locals and visitors.
