What a wonderful morning that we had with the Jenkins family celebrating our great country! We started out with the parade. The mayor always "gets" to ride in the parade. This year we were in a beautiful horse pulled wagon. Luke and Abigail got to ride with us and throw out candy. They were having so much fun throwing the candy, they didn't even realize that they were not the ones collecting the candy. Afterwards we came back to our home and had our traditional breakfast of breakfast casseroles, cinnamon rolls and fresh fruit. We celebrate this holiday with Jay's brothers and sister and all of their families. I love all of the great traditions!

Wow Mom, you've done great at updating your blog, 10 times better than I have! You got some great pictures this 4th, that was a lot of fun! Since you guys are semi-retired and emtpy-nesters, you're more busy than us kids!

Nice to be related to some famous people --- people who get their names on cars and ride in parades. It was fun to see you a couple of weeks ago --- looking forward to seeing you at the "N" reunion.
