I hope all here have a great day today, whatever you choose to do. It's hot and dry here, so my son and I are babysitting irrigation systems on corn, but I'm going over to some good friend's home for a really big BBQ at lunch. It's an ongoing tradition, for probably 20 years, at their home. They have many tables and chairs set up on the lawn, grills and cookers going under the shed, a guy brings a one-cylinder JD powered ice cream churn and makes homemade vanilla, and peach, ice cream. Kids play on a big inflatable waterslide or swim in the pool. There will likely be well over a hundred guests there, who will bring side dishes, with the meats being provided by the host family. Good, clean family affair with no drinking or foul talk. Maybe I can post a few pics later this afternoon. Hope you all have a safe and happy 4th, and please remember how blessed we are to live in this great bastion, and supporter, of freedom.. Eat well, my friends. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I love peach ice cream- hard to get up here- and the clean non-alcoholic family get-togethers as you describe remind me why "Georgia is Always "On My Mind"-- RWTF

Blessed we are Stan, but I have real fear that we can remain united
John Jay, 1st Chief Justice of the United States, Federalist Paper No. 2, "Concerning Dangers From Foreign Force and Influence" This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties.

Back at you, Stan. The weather sounds iffy round these parts, so, Ive planned a pork loin/collard green/black eyed pea evening meal, that can either be grilled or sauted in a cast iron skillet. Just us for dinner, sadly, the old guard military people who would have been here in years past have moved along to greener pastures. Have a wonderful celebration, Stan, and thanks to everyone who ever served.
Best, Ted

Happy 4th to all of you and yours!!! This IMO is the most important National Holiday we have. Our form of government has withstood the test of time, thru war and peace. This is the greatest nation this world has ever seen and a pray God it will continue for generations to come.
God Bless the United States of America!

This is news to me. I dont know they celebrated the 4th in Russia. I shouldnt be surpised though, they do have a nack for rewriting history.... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russi...E9AH0JK20131118A happy 4th to the loyal ones, who dont put their own selfish desires and ideology infront of the good of the country.
