No Lemons, No Melon

I hope you had a great 4th of July, I know I did. The Murphy Family spent the long weekend at the lake, Lake of the Ozarks that is, and had fun morning, noon, and night. Having fun sure is exhausting and I haven't fully recovered days later. We were celebrating the Declaration of Independence properly, as we were aggressively pursuing happiness. Our friends the Fischers invited us down to watch fireworks on the lake and ride around in their boat -- how could we refuse? We wound up watching the fireworks from their boat anchored in the cove they were staying at. Most of the fireworks were provided by Red Oak resort, but a nearby marina, various other enterprises and individuals shot of plenty as well. There were so many from every direction, you didn't know where to look.
