Greenville is our city, and of course I want it to go on forever too. Of all the things I'll miss about Greenville (and about life in general) when my time is up, having friends over to our home for dinner is one of the most dear. It takes time to plan and time to shop and time to cook, but the time is always paid back in the merry moments we share.

I love July 4th most, as far as holidays go. After a ninety-three million mile transit, the beams of the sun beat down, friends come for an afternoon on the lake, we eat ribs and potato salad, and I'm married to a man who loves fireworks. That is almost all I need in life.
