Quiet Fourth . . .

Red, White and Blue plus . . .

Spent time this morning cooking up red bliss potatoes for a nice old fashioned potato salad and baked a Black Coffee Cake too. Later in the day we had an excellent chowder from the Roadside Diner before Grampa grilled us some hamburgers which we ate with the potato salad. The dessert was very good with the ubiquitous Cool Whip! This evening I persuaded Puppies and Dante's Pop to make some whistling booms with slender contrivances (trying to get by NSA's PRISM!) left over from A and M's trips North back in the late 80's! How's that for an old fashioned 4th? It was a perfect day for celebrating the birth pangs of our good United States. Won't get maudlin and mention what a different people we are from what I believe our founders envisioned. Perhaps we'll withstand the test of time better than Roman civilization. I certainly hope so. It will be a shame if we abdicate our responsibility to keep our people free from tyrannical big government politicians. God bless these United States; keep us free from the tyranny of elites. Amen.
