There was a July 4 parade! This photo is from the July 4, 1976 parade, in which I worked on the Campus-Community Players float. Here I am - with hair, my Candide T-shirt, and macrame belt - between my friends, local radio host Geri Hart and float villain Ritch Stoops. I had more photos but I cannot find them! Our DR Ginny made a lovely heroine for the float.

One of the neighboring communities did a long fireworks show last night, probably on Candlewood Lake. We couldn't see them over the treetops, but we heard every rumble and bang for an hour.

Kristi and Nathan love their legal store-bought fireworks, and we'll have our own display of those in the driveway this evening.

We'll have 1776 on at some point. That's a solid tradition. So is The Music Man, but the former has taken precedence in recent years.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the first John Wick movie. Also loved the second. Have yet to see the third. The fourth is coming.

In honor of the day, I played Give Us the Land from Unpublished Cole Porter, followed by I Still Love the Red, White and Blue from Cole Porter Revisited VI.

Give me the land
Of malted milk and honey
Give me the land
Where life is still a joke
Give me the land
Where everyone makes money
Give me the land
Where everyone is broke

Independence Day greetings! We enjoyed a lovely fireworks show last night from the comfort of Rob and Mary Linda’s driveway.

DR Elmore, thanks for posting those parade photos. It was fun, but s-o-o-o hot!

PS - check your email…

I just mowed the yard around the house. It was time, anyway, and now it'll be more pleasant to sit out there.

I've accomplished much but I have yet to begin the l;aundry. Playing with the computer, I managed to adjkust the tone of DR Ginny's 1976 float costume, which I designed and built. I'm very proud of it.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #54 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:04:06 AM »

Great photographic evidence, DR Elmore!

DR Ginny, it's ALWAYS too hot for me. Any such summer activity thing. As fun as they are otherwise. Certainly when it's "exceptionally" hot that day, but usually any bright sunny day during summer will have me basting in my own juices.
