Happy 4th of July

"Buy a Fifth on the Third for the Fourth."
No, I am not promoting drinking, but this reminds me of my mom, who always said with a smile:
"Don't forget to buy a Fifth on the Third for the Fourth."
There is only one day that the saying makes sense.
And that day is today, July 3rd.
I hope everyone enjoys this holiday week with friends and family.
Mom, I am thinking about you!
Well heck, Margaret. I just got back from the grocery store, and I neglected to get a fifth. Perhaps next year. In any case, I hope you are having a pleasant holiday weekend.

Margaret it is OK to by the fifth on the third for the forth, as long as you don't drink all of the fifth you buy on the third on the forth. 😋
