Happy Independence Day
We dressed and jumped in the Triumph and headed to town for the 4th of
July Bicycle Parade. We arrived just before the parade began and were
sitting on the Courthouse Square as the kids rode by us.
The building in the background of the pictures is the new
Justice Center on the Courthouse Square in Burkesville. We also stopped
and looked at the marker for all the service men that were 'killed in
action' from Cumberland County. Stacey is pointing to my Uncle Ralph's
name on the marker. He was my dad's oldest brother and died while
serving in World War II. There are also service men listed that died in
the Korean Conflict, Vietnam Conflict, and Operation Iraqi Freedom on
the opposite side of the marker.
We drove through town and stopped for breakfast at
Grumpy's. Then I drove the Triumph back to the farm and we covered it up
in the hay shed. A little after 8 PM we took the Mustang to town and
watched the fireworks from the park.
Enjoy the Fourth of July
safely...
and 'celebrate' how great it is to live in the 'land of the
free'.
