The beginning of summer is always a start of something new and exciting. Schools come to a close and all of a sudden you have a lot of time on your hands to do anything you feel like doing. This summer was a laid back summer for me and family but there were some opportunities to go out and have fun. Of course the beach was a automatic destination we thought of on a hot day to go and relax. Although this beach visit was unexpected it turned out to be quite fun.
This summer I also got to spend some quality time with my sister. Being in college and staying there throughout the school year would never give us a chance to meet, but summer brings the excitement to spend time with her. This summer we spent some time at the Hopkinton Park. There we followed some trails and had a picnic and in the evening we relaxed and had a fun competition of badminton. I captured a picture of us so that i would remember this day and how much fun we had together.
Summer 2014 also brought tragedies to the town of Lowell and our country as a whole.
On July 10 3 floor apartment building caught on fire in the town of Lowell. This tragedy consumed the lives of four adults and three children. This fire erupted on the third floor, thankfully the firefighters made it on time to prevent further damage to the area around this location.

Through out the summer another news breaking story hit the shelves. Market Basket the grocery serving store to many states had internal issues with co-workers making the grocery's unavailable to the public. Although this issue was internal arguments it affected the lives of many individuals. it left most people with no jobs including some of my friends. This issues does seem to be solved out by now but it still made a huge difference in the lives of many this summer.
Your summer sounded more fun than mine, I wish I could've experienced more of the laid back type of attitude. But the fire really was sad and I remember how upset I was when I heard about it. A tragedy within our own city really opened my eyes to how quickly and easily death could occur.
ReplyDeleteThat was rough when the house burned down.
