What is so special about Fourth of July in Maine? It's not the weather which was picture perfect throughout the weekend. It's not the setting which was particularly beautiful especially when viewed at sunset on the dock. It's not the food which was abundant as always and particularly delicious this year. But, as always, it's the people--family and friends like family, young and old--who just enjoy being together whether it's in the kitchen, on the tennis court, on the lake or just relaxing on the deck, reading the papers and talking, talking, talking.
