4 July - Enjoy!

[Crankin]

It rained on the morning of the fourth here, so we took a walk and then went to friend's for a BBQ. When we got home around 9, we watched the Pops on TV, the fireworks, and caught a few glimpses of the fireworks from the neighboring town.
I live in the place where it all started, so the 4h of July is really celebrated here. We are a real "small town" kind of place, so there's a parade, etc. I never really felt like it was the 4th of July when I lived in AZ.
I did wear red, white, and blue on Friday and Saturday when I was at parties. I feel a little more patriotic since my son is in Iraq, but generally, I do not go for big displays of this stuff. But, I also love early American history.

A friend of mine from across the pond sent to me that said to the effect.

"We have no hard feelings. Happy Birthday USA, love mum"

Cheers for all the replies, that was good, everybody did things very differently, much like when we celebrate things over here.

I am one of those who does not have very much family, so it must be so good to have a 'whole bunch' of cousins etc and all meet up.

Thank you for taking the time to tell me.
