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!
