Happy Fourth to everyone! I'm currently celebrating my country's independence by sleeping til noon and then watching Flip the House Marathon on TLC....just like George Washington would have wanted it.
To be completely honest, I get kind of homesick on the fourth. To me, 68 degrees and breezy doesnt say 4th of July to me. Growing up with the quintessential Fourth of July parade down the main drag of our town (Sherwood Ave./HWY 99) followed by a celebration in the park complete with three legged and potato sack races, face painting and bbqs, I now have a hard time imagining it any other way.
Bars, parties, piers...its all nice and beautiful. However, its not 110 degrees, in short and tanks; sunburns and sprinklers. 4H projects. Horse rides. Small towns.
And as much time and energy as I've spent getting as far away from that as possible, I find myself missing it to death every July 4th.
