fireworks

Last year, a two-minute walk to the riverfront with a friend to stand under the display.

This year, margaritas, Kermit balls, and friends in the 10th floor department lounge.

The core of downtown Detroit looked amazing as a black skyline silhouetted by the bright sparkly sky. And when I think about the international event--the joining of two countries to celebrate similar holidays (sponsored by Target, of course)--it makes me happy to be living in this area.

And, the compliment-whisperer struck again. It may've been the margaritas. Or the wine. Or the chocolate. Regardless, it was nice to make someone's evening. And to see him blush.
