While I revise two posts (which were penned while my old mindset was transitioning through complex trains of thought, concerning that which was in need of change, before clarity was mine), you may enjoy scrolling through these photos of quintessential americana on parade during the 4th of July celebration, which takes place annually on the main drag, adjacent to the golf course, near our cabin in the tall pines. At least 30 home-made floats passed before hundreds of spectator neighbors, who lined both sides of the main thoroughfare on block after block, where patriotic music, coupled with a perfusion of red/white/blue, created a brain/heart connection that pumped up every spirit until strangers felt bonds of friendship saturating everyone's heart.
Ravi, Steven and Celina
After the parade, which was enjoyed by one and all, Steven BBQ'd thick, juicy steaks while his friend, Wade, who loves to cook, created the rest of our succulent Fourth of July feast for fifteen: crab legs, shrimp, potatoes and corn on the cobb, splashed with lemon and melted butter. Yum!
Though our feast may not have been heart-healthy, the company with whom we chose to spend our time proved to be exactly that!
This picture is worth a thousand Yums!
In short order, a glass of vino and a full tummy saw me cuddling up with Ravi for a catnap on the recliner, which proves to be everyone's favorite chair. This photo was taken as I awakened, rested and eager to enjoy the rest of this four day get-away with my precious grand daughter and treasured family and friends!
Treasure beyond measure!
