god bless america












the fourth of july this year began with a bang, at a parade in my sister jen's neighborhood. what a fun time for all, as we loved sharing the day with my brother rich, sister-in-law renee, and niece sallie too! jen made loolabelle dresses for the three girls, hampton, evie and sallie, and they looked absolutely adorable! they won the prize for best wagon...the ooo's and ahhh's from the bystanders were priceless! austin proudly pulled the three cute girls the entire parade route, repeatedly checking to make sure the girls remained seated. coleman rode his dirtbike, with noisy coke cans trailing behind, and was quite a hit! after the parade, we ventured to breakfast as a large group of fourteen, which included our friends, the smith family! yeah...we started the day with a bang, and will conclude the day with a star spangled evening with the rest of the family, in honor of my grandmother, gaga's 95th birthday! what a blessing it is to live in america! stars and stripes forever!
