~:: More Fourth ::~

Posted on July 30, 2012 by K

The 4th of July.  Independence Day. Barbecues, parades (with horses), fireworks, craft fairs, patriotic villages, friends, games, marching bands, bagpipes, craziness.  This year started with G getting up early to run a 10K race.  And Chaz and Chelsea and I … Continue reading →
