Independence Day! Red, white and blue is everywhere! Flags are flying, patriotic songs are playing, people are having cookouts, and of course, when darkness falls, the fireworks begin! I was blessed to be able to have a front-row seat, along with about 50 other people, in the yard of a wonderful couple who "open" their yard on the 4th to those who want to come and have a "perfect" view of the fireworks! I didn't try to capture the fireworks, but I did capture the home-grown ones we set off around the yard! It's a real community affair as we were offered frozen Snickers bars, and everyone got a glow-stick! I was taking a picture of myself and my friend Jeannette and at the last second raised my glow-stick so it too could be in the picture! Well, as you can see, it looks like it is straight up her nose!! I couldn't get that pose again if I tried! I could fill this blog with lots of thoughts about freedom and independence, but instead, I'll just let it remain as is...a report on my summer fun!
