Happy Fourth of July :D

From my parents' deck

Don't know if I'll take my camera along this time,

so in case I don't,

here are a few from recent Independence Day celebrations :D

You've got 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's patriotism.
