Fourth of July




Favorite 4th of July memories.
My mom loved parades, and dad loved rodeos - happily, those loves usually combined on the fourth. There was always a picnic involved somewhere, and in the evening, each little community around us had their own little fireworks display, so it was just a matter of choosing which one to attend.
One year, we discovered that the roof of one of our sheds was the perfect vantage point to view them all from one spot.
Happy carefree days.

I love this song by James Taylor, and it's not available for my playlist anymore, so I will treat you with a live performance.

Enjoy!



...And for an encore, David Archuleta's "They Come To America"



God Bless America (please)
