Celebrations

Well, the Fourth of July has come and passed. Here are my observations:

Every time any of the armed services people passed by in the parade I couldn't help but tear up--there's no event tied to that. Just admiration.

Barbecues are better when it involves a family of some sort.

So are parades.

Fireworks are best when huge, sparkly, and free.

That's all for now. There's plenty more to be said of Independence Day. I'll finish with my two cents--I love this country. It's not perfect. It's not governed by perfect people. But it's the best nation in the world.
