Happy Birthday America

Happy Birthday, USA.  And I have to say, you look pretty good for your age.  Are you doing something special to celebrate the 4th?  We have no special plans.  July 4 is one of the holidays that we don't usually celebrate with the family.  Mary and her family usually go to Kennywood, a local amusement park.  Jimmy gets free tickets from the Carpenter's Union, but they don't use them the day of the Carpenter's picnic.  Jimmy usually works the union booth during the picnic, and so they use the tickets on July 4.  It's become a family tradition for them.  Pam and Pat are going to the park this evening for some rides and the fireworks.  So, Rod and I are just relaxing and enjoying a day off.  One of our neighbors has a 4th party every year, and we sit on our front porch and enjoy their fireworks.  I made potato salad for dinner last night, and we have enough left over for today.  Hope you have a "bang up" day.
