Independence Day

It is Independence Day for we Americans.

We celebrate but usually in a quiet way. When your state doesn’t allow fireworks it is rather difficult to celebrate with snaps and pops. And when Mother Nature tosses rain into the mix it is hard for the cities to blow fireworks up for you. So this year is quite a quiet celebration.

But I have family here. I have happy children playing at my feet. We have food to fill our bellies and conversation to tickle our minds.
