You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4,
not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle,
but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees,
the potato salad gets iffy,
and the flies die from happiness.
You may think you have overeaten,
but it is patriotism.

Hi Kendal. I love Erma Bombeck too and thought this could bring some sunshine into people’s lives today. I have attended her writing conference several times in Dayton. Great conference.
Thanks Mia. It is great to be home after traveling for two weeks. We visited five major national parks in Utah. a great time but a long drive home!
Don’t you just love how she writes!
