Going Fourth

Hope all my friends and readers had a glorious Fourth!

We celebrated with my sister at the Fourth of July parade in Cumming, Georgia, which features tons (literally) of antique steam engine tractors.

I'm not a blind patriot and I know our country contains troubles and contradictions. But I like to take a moment to consider the times in our history we've had to defend our Constitution and our principles. Here's a handsome gentleman and veteran from American Legion Post #307 in Cumming as he waits for the parade to start.

And here's my twelve-year-old nephew Dillon. We've managed to keep the boys so busy that they're pooped.

Add ribs, fireworks, summer heat, swimming pools, and cool drinks. We've had a great Fourth!
