Happy Birthday, America


Happy Birthday to the USA!

This is usually a happy day from start to finish.

My father and mother always took their five kids to the parade when I was a little girl.

The years my Dad bought us balloons were extremely exciting! I imagine he had spending money those years!

Today, 2023, many decades later, there is still a parade and several family members are attending.

I am hoping rain will stay in the clouds until the parade ends!

Happy, Happy Birthday to America!

They had a little something on the main street of my town yesterday as well.

Happy 4th Susan! I like this photo - you took it at an angle, looks nice. Loved hearing about the parade when you were growing up. Those were the sweet days. ; )

Happy Independence Day. So glad I'm an American and live in a free country. Going to a bbq at my son's house today. I do remember going to a parade when I was little and being very excited to see fireworks right from the backyard.
