#112 - Don't Like the Feel of July 4th

 
Independence Day 2020

We've had a number of holidays during this pandemic. All have felt odd and changed, by the news and by the fact that most of us are more isolated. But I decorate and try to enjoy each one.

But, July 4th is the most uncomfortable of all the celebrations.

I don't mind celebrating at home. We usually do. I don't mind that the fireworks are cancelled. Because I understand why.

I do mind knowing that tonight, our president will be greeting crowds at Mount Rushmore for a celebration and that S. Dakota's governor, isn't requiring   masks or social distancing.

These reminders of the division in our country are disturbing on this holiday. Oh well,. We'll just be staying at home with all our red, white and blue decor. I'm very grateful that I was born in this country. But I am not celebrating my country's leadership at the moment.

Happy Birthday Daw!

This weekend, I'm celebrating my grandmother, who would have been 124 on this 4th of July. Her birthday is tomorrow and I've already made a cake. It's just as funny looking as the one in this photo!

My decorations and my cheers are for Daw! How fun our celebrations used to be!
