Sunscreen, lemonade, speeches, freedom, sticky ice cream cones, patriotic songs, cowgirls, sundresses, bike rides, history lessons, Sousa's marches, baseball caps, apple pie, lawn chairs, liberty, hamburgers, glow in the dark bracelets, horses, reading the Declaration, and the laughter of tons of family and friends have made for fun memories at every one of my Fourth celebrations.
So, all you Americans - here's to a bright, patriotic, fantastic, delicious day of fireworks, lemonade, friends, history, songs, ice cream, and old cars. Happy Independence Day!!!

Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder. What unites us is far greater than what divides us.

...when I have been in Canada, I have never heard a Canadian refer to an American as a "foreigner." He is just an "American." And, in the same way, in the United States, Canadians are not "foreigners," they are "Canadians." That simple little distinction illustrates to me better than anything else the relationship between our two countries.
~1936. During a visit to Quebec City.
I was looking for something that describes the relationship between USA and Canada and I found US Presidents .

This B & B was full of so many beautiful details - the light, the wallpaper, the mismatched furniture. Wish I'd taken more pictures of the interior when I had the chance.

Drove up the canyon to take some pictures of the fireworks today with my mom. There was a sunset when we parked so I ran across the street to take some pictures which was stressful because cars were coming left and right. Not to mention my mom worrying about me standing on the edge while cars drove by. I tried taking pictures of the fireworks, but my camera only zoomed so far in (as you can see in this photo).
I have been asked about any other photos I have - here are some from last year I thought people might like
I skipped the July Fourth fireworks this year. Yeah, I know, it sounds un-American and just plain wrong. But this is the Oregon coast, and I was hoping the sunset would provide all the color I needed. And once I hit the beach that evening at Seal Rock - which seems to be my default location these days when visiting the coast - the light was not the best I've ever seen, but it did not disappoint, either. The only down side was the tiny swell, which did not give me much in the way of wave action on the beach. But that's nitpicking on a beautiful, warm coastal evening. I hope everyone likes the resulting image.

The fourth appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe is, in a sense, on-going. It took place in the residence of the Archbishop of Mexico City on 12 December 1531.
But Our Lady left her visage on the tilma (cloak) of St Juan Diego, and 485 years later it still survives miraculously: a sign of Mary's abiding presence with us.
My sermon for today, preached during Conventual Mass in the Dominican House of Studies, can be read here.
JPBX #910 departs Fourth and King, formerly Third and Townsend, with the #156 Local making all stops between San Francisco and San Jose. The signal bridge on the right is one of the only original SP signal structures left on the Peninsula, and it may very well be one of the last SP cantilevers left in the state of California.
Prior to 1976, the original SP station was at Third and Townsend. Built in 1910, the depot served SP's coastal long-distance trains originating out of San Francisco such as the Lark, Del Monte, and Coast Daylight, in addition to trains of the Peninsula Commute. The last intercity train departed Third and Townsend in 1971, the demolition and relocation of the terminal followed five years later.
