Happy Independence Day

To all my friends in America, wishing you all a very enjoyable and restful Independence Day. 

The 4th of July has some significance in my life, not because of any specific connection with the USA, but because my mother and father married on 4 July 1964. Had my mother still been alive today, they would have been celebrating their 48th wedding anniversary! Sadly, my mother is no longer with us, but it is still a day for celebration.

  1. Happy anniversary to your parents! Although my father has passed on, I still call my mother on their anniversary (which is in November).

    It is SOOO HOT HERE TODAY!

    Thanks Michael!

  2. Michael, Happy Independence Day to you, too! Even though your mother is no longer with you, she still makes the day special. Sending good vibes to you from Seattle.

  3. And a very happy Fourth to you! Nice that you have a familial reference. We all roasted more thoroughly than the hot dogs this year, because as Frida says, it's hot here in the States!
