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.

Wonderful! I love Erma Bombeck, my Mom collected many of her paper articles. Especially the ones on children. Happy 4th to you! We are at the beautiful beach eating hotdogs!
