Happy 4th of July

Is it actually that late in the year. Gosh it seems like we just celebrated Christmas and here it is July already. Where does time go to. I honestly could not tell you but, otherwise we do try. Me and my whole family have never gotten into the celebration of our country becoming free. Because here in America, which is where we live, we have never understood oppression. Much more than my Dad saying do it my way or else. And most of the time it ends up OK. But, living here with my brother I am able to understand my parents and their relationships with others better. Living away from home, I have found out what a good cook I am, and how I am able to manage my time and money to my best advantage. Although I do miss being under my father's protective arm, my brother who is older and wiser than I am, is there for me also. I am ever even adapting to this strange town I live in called Sacramento. I have found at least a couple of places that I could call my own here but, it is nothing like Ocean Beach. The weather here is just too hot.
