Typically, we are broken up by American geographical regions (New [...]

Well, we are almost to the Fourth of July weekend.  It is raining AGAIN, but the forecast looks better for the weekend.  Very exciting- I live in Hingham, MA, and my husband and I live at the end of the Fourth of July parade route.  Not only are we planning on having lots of family [...]
