There was nothing safe or sane about the Revolutionary War for Independence. It was a bloody, risky business, but well worth the price. Our celebrations of that event, however, run from the beautiful to the tragic.
At Roger Dean Stadium in Abacoa Town Center, the emphasis will be on safety and beautyâŠas glorious fireworks displays will be set off after the baseball games on July 2rd and 4th. Thatâs a smart place for kids to view them. Along with the Classic Car Show on Main Street. And similar organized displays will be going on at locations up and down the coast. Romantic, exciting, holiday flares will light up the night sky. Hot dogs and burgers will vie with watermelon, corn on the cob and ice cream for appetite appeal. And a great time will be had by almost all.
But even as the fun continues, emergency sirens will blare and emergency rooms fill up with people who make poor holiday choices⊠mishandling their own fireworks or driving lit up. And while Iâm sure our founding fathers would be thrilled with our remembrance, I doubt theyâd find that prospect worth celebrating.
So as my husband Dane and I wish you all a happy, yummy, family fourthâŠwe also wish you careful handling of the holiday and all that goes with it.














Thatâs because the owner personally flew to Indonesia to hand-select every piece of carved wood trim, every solid wood door, every wood inlay. Different shades of mahogany and teak are juxtaposed against marble, tile, granite, and river rock throughout. Why, the his-and-hers master bath alone is a visual marvel ⊠complete with Jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower.
