4th of July Musings
Last day of June and July 4th (good info) will be celebrated here soon in this restless, perplexed and anxious nation. In these hot and perilous times, we usually have a close family get together in a small town in North Florida. We will drive 170 miles visit, eat and swim etc. then come home the same day. Lots of expensive gas and a little tiring, but very good to do.
On Monday, July 4th, our city's parade route is on a street which is only one house away from ours. We just walk over with our lawn chairs to our neighbor's tree shaded yard to watch the show. It's very meaningful to me to see a small, home town American parade, and convenient too. The floats range from the well made to the very hand made, but it's always interesting, and gives me a good, patriotic feeling.
After the parade, I can walk two blocks to another tree shaded area where a local Baptist Church serves free hot dogs, hamburgers, cold drinks and lots of other good things. There are many activities for children, and it gives our small community a chance to come together for some summer fun. Later in the day we go to some friends' home on the river where we eat some outstanding food and have more fun. At night, our city does a great fire works show, a few blocks down our street, which we can see from our home. Finally, there are always many good movies and TV shows on the 4th.
I hope your 4th of July will be as good as mine. Happy 4th! ¶ 8:04 AM

Going to Canada for the 4th to avoid Bush. It is patriotic to do so. Canada has legalized same-sex marriage BTW!
