I love the 4th of July. I love the parades and the fireworks, the campfires, fired up grills, and the happy spirit of people gathered in town squares and lawns. Fourth of July always makes me think of what brought this country together and what makes us great.
On the Fourth of July it seems that all our bickering should be put aside and we should just celebrate how lucky we are, or at least have a piece of pie, some icecream, or a snow cone.
I'm off to see the bicycle parade.
Hope you have a lovely 4th!

Happy 4th dear Mardel.
Have a Happy 4th, Mardel–the bicycle parade sounds like fun! Are you taking Owen with you?
Alas Patti, Owen and his parents are driving to NY today for a visit with his dads family.
We’ve been to the airport and picked up a second grandchild. The boys are having a water gun fight now…and tonight, fireworks watched from a blanket in a local park. Are you IN the parade by chance?
Happy belated 4th! We spent the afternoon at our neighborhood block party.
I hope you enjoyed the parade.
Nope, not in the parade. Just an appreciative onlooker. My grandson is away visiting other relatives this week.
