Walking on the wharf along the Sheboygan river there was what looked like a homemade boat, loaded with fishnets, a light right on it

Oven fried chicken, red skinned mashed, zucchini, mixed greens with balsamic and olive oil, sliced peaches with a lemon squeezed on them, chocolate Truffles from Betsy Ann Chocolates(courtesy of Vincie)and corn on the cob that James’ parents grew in Ohio, butter and salt and pepper. It was a summer dinner. Two of my three grown children home accompanied by their significant other. Happy mother.

As the paper lanterns fill with hot air, they rise up to the sky and float away into the night. Biodegradable. Early hot air balloons. The gathering crowd mesmerized by the sight.
