The 4th of July, in retrospect:
Thoughts of long ago patriots making a commitment
to The United States of America.
Flags flying in gentle breezes.
Children running barefoot in the grass with sparklers.
Cooling off in the pool.
Smiles,
Lauren's pink & orange bikini,
whispered prayers for soldiers fighting far away.
family stories,
great food,
crushing hugs,
Josh cooking on the Green Egg,
mud on Jami's boots,
Larry's sunburn,
Libby snorting in the heat,
and,
Josh setting off fireworks
from the back acre.
Yesterday,
a day spent
with Lauren & Josh.
It was so wonderful,
I hope the photo of my flip flops
says it all.
How was your 4th?
Perfect?
It is a holiday that means so much.
Thank you for being you.
Love you.
Me
