Happy 4th of July to you also. Back story a few weeks ago Ancestry messaged me and informed me that George Washington is my 8th great Uncle. So you can say President George Washington’s great niece wished you a happy 4th of July!!!

For the Fourth we usually had: grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, potato salad, green salad, garlic bread, bowls of grapes and cherries, chips and dip, and some kind of berry cobbler with ice cream; kids had cold soft drinks, adults had beer or coffee. We covered the long picnic table in the back with a red and white vinyl checked tablecloth and ate hearty. Before our meal we’d usually play horseshoes, while some of the men would stand around the grill with beers, monitoring the meat cooking. Later, someone would host fireworks at their house and us kids would run around with sparklers while the dads opened big boxes of firecrackers. Good days. Great country. Best to all – Happy Fourth of July!

Happy 4th of July to all of Greater Claycord as we celebrate 250 years of independence!  
Yesterday, I attended a Liberty Tree planting and an inspiring ceremony by the local DAR and SAR chapters.  

I don’t do lower Broadway in Nashville anymore, but apparently, close to a half-million people did show up for the Let Freedom Ring festivities. I get the feeling that patriots across the country were hungry for something to celebrate, because there were massive parties in towns and cities all across this great nation. And a new sense of optimism seems to be taking hold.

God Bless America!
