4th of July at Lake Wallenpaupack in the Pocono Mts in PA is a moving and patriotic experience. The high light of the holiday is always the fireworks display which are launched near the dam. They can be viewed from the high school bleachers, from the shore line, on the top of the dike, from the top of the mountain at Tanglewood ski slopes and, from your boat. It takes your breath away to see hundreds of boats anchored waiting for the show to begin. Some boats parade, showing their patriotism with flags. lights, and decorations in red, white, and blue.

As the sky line dims, the lights from all the boats reflect off the water. What a site to behold.

Area businesses contributed to give locals and tourists alike a spectacular fireworks show. The colors of each burst mirrored off the water. The sound of the booms echoed off the mountains. This year in particular, the fireworks were incredible. There was not only one finaly, there were 3 finalies. The crowd cheered, and the boat captains tooted their horns in appreciation.

I am already looking forward to attending next years show. Is it possible to out do the fireworks from this year? As we wait in anticipation, be sure to make arrangements to visit Lake Wallenpaupack for your 4th of July Holiday. Visit the dam and walk atop the dike. See you at the lake!!!'

Personal footnote; This year my husband and I invited his aunt and uncle to join us on the boat to view the fireworks. They have vacationed at the lake since 1952 and now are retired there. They agreed that this was the best fireworks that they had ever seen. "Unc" is 90 years young - that's a lot of memories.

Beautiful Weekend is HERE!

Counting down the minutes to LABOR DAY Weekend on the Paupack and thinking what a wide variety of weather we have experienced while showing homes here in the Pocono Mountains of Lake Wallenpaupack, Pennsylvania. One day, get the rain gear on and don't take the gear off for 5 weeks to waking the next month with "Wow, the humidity slammed in" to now having clear blue days and cool nights. I could not help thinking while going thru this crazy weather season showing homes to clients, if the house is not flooding or floating away or the home is keeping energy efficient with the fast weather change then you found your next home! Don not wait, put the offer in and let us see where the final sale price will be agreed upon between you and the seller.

If you see me out and about, come sit, will have drink ready. Looking towards the up coming months and can not help take notice of the current fixed rates for mortgages.

Wishing all a Warm and Safe Labor day :o)
