Happy Birthday, America!

Happy birthday, America!

I attended the Fourth of July parade this morning, and the rain let up just long enough that no one got too wet. Later, it cleared off, then rained just a tiny bit again, then cleared off for good. 

We had hot dogs for dinner, along with potato salad, beans, and sauerkraut. We ate on the patio. I read the Declaration of Independence before we started eating. Well, before I started eating. :)

After dinner, I drove back to the town that had the parade in the morning to watch their fireworks display. I had had a conversation about Concordia with my mom before leaving. On the way, I made a wrong turn and ended up on "Concord Drive," which I took to be auspicious. :)

At the fireworks, there was a fee for nonresidents, so when I got to the entrance, I said, "I'm a nonresident," and the fireman manning the entrance said, "That's too bad." It was funny, and I played along.

Prayer for the safety and well-being of all. Good night!
