Independence Day 2011

Fireworks are exciting, I’m the first to oohh and aahh, but in these economic times, lots of towns and cities are cutting down on the celebrations, the money isn’t there.  So we fire up the barbeque with family and friends,  perhaps attend a wedding or family reunion.  Maybe we’re lucky enough to have some down time for ourselves.
