Somehow the Fourth had its quiet moments, too, even for little feet and childish voices, and small hands stole into each other as we sat looking at our fire-works with a sense that independence was a fine thing to declare.

You’re not what you used to be, but, America, you’re still mine.
HAPPY 246th BIRTHDAY, AMERICA.

That’s right, Diana. My Fourth was good. Quiet until dark, then a fireworks display took place in my courtyard. I’m sure some of those Big Boomers were not allowed here. 🥳

We missed the fireworks (my husband hates traffic), so we had a nice quiet evening. I think I might have liked visiting your place. 😀

It was quiet inside my place. I don’t like traffic either. Glad I didn’t have to go out.
