My parents still have that video of our youth to this day. It’s a shame they didn’t video tape the 50 dollar (back then, that was even more valuable dollar wise) firework.

ut a dud! Hehe.
This year though, we celebrated the 4th at the rooftop of Danny’s condo in the warehouse district. He has a condo next to the Children’s Museum on Gallery Row. It was the first time my parents saw the condo and they really enjoyed it. We were grateful for the breeze on this sultry summer nig

I just so loved your poem about wedding dresses. Here in India,too, fashions are changing, but I remember wearing a very traditional red silk BENARASI saree with gold embroidery on the borders and tiny gold flowers all over.
