- A favorite quote: It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have these three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence to practice neither. Mark Twain - A favorite memory from July 4, 2009: Spending the 4th of July in my home town and sitting on the post office steps at noon to call my sister in Florida. Suddenly the bells of Sacred Heart Catholic Church begin to play God Bless America and My Country 'Tis of Thee to an otherwise deserted downtown, making for appropriate patriotic background music.
- Making a new memory: Sometime between 8:45am (my start time in the "T" heat), and 11am, I'll be mostly walking the Peachtree Road Race. I decided to dedicate each of the six miles to people in my life. I loved that support you gave me when I announced I was running (mostly walking) - I'll let you know how it went! :)

The 4th fell on either Friday or Saturday in 2009 and I was in town to run errands for my mom and dad. It was his last 4th, but he managed to sit out on the back porch and grill up steaks. The best I ever had.

I was with thousands of my closest friends for the first part of the day. :)

It was the hottest in recent years (of course), but still OK. :)
Glad you got a good flag pic, a great memory of old home with family, n finished the race! Yay! Sounds like a full holiday, with a well-deserved sit-down after!
And you did follow with "the rest of the story". Thanks.
Snaggle -
Oh - I crawled into bed for two hours after I got home. Best nap ever!
Granny Annie -
Yes - I did. I was a little proud of myself. :)
