This year I was so excited to take Sophie to the Ft. Thomas Fourth of July parade.
We walked to the end of my good friend Linda’s street, so as to watch the parade with her.
Sophie saw bands, …
fire trucks and engines, …
the lawn chair brigade, …
floats and …
well, this!
After the parade ended we fled to Linda’s porch to avoid the rain.
Happy Fourth of July!
“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.” —Erma Bombeck
