Why do we wait for a holiday to visit family?

We spent July 4th with my husband's sister's family. It was a lovely long day of visiting, barbecue, and fireworks. What more could you ask? I took a few pictures.

What does the Brainstormer do?

Check out The Brainstormer by Andrew Bosley. Is it art? Is it a tool for writers who need to brainstorm ideas or plot points? Is it both? It doesn't matter, frankly... I just think it's cool and will keep you all busy all weekend!
