I’m overwhelmed, comforted, flooded with memories of 4th of July. 22 of the, to be exact. Thats how many Mac and I celebrated together. Occasionally in the States, on our bikes, in the town voted Best Small Town to Celebrate the Fourth, Choteau Montana. Yup a real live small town parade, where people celebrated whether Republican or Democrat…both parties had their float a s entourage with them…cheers, flag waving, very red white and blue! Friendly folk, making room in the shade for the two smiling Canucks.
I was looking at older photos on my phone, and the red white and blue jello shooters I concocted, and consumed in our garage made me smile. The crazy things we did, sometimes just ripping south from our place in Alberta for a cross border biscuit and gravy breakfast. Yummo!
Or ordering almost everything on the menu for a Chinese takeout feast in Port Townsend with cousin Lynn. A very good day indeed! Fireworks all down the coast really topped it off.
Today I’m sitting in the sun with a cool and persistent breeze glad to be with friends in Albeeria. The drive from Creston seemed long. The traffic at the end of our July 1 long weekend was nuts! July 1. Once called Dominion Day, then changed by Prime Minister Pearson to Canada Day and now PM Truedope questioning if there is a Canadian identity at all? What woke new hell path is this fool leading us down now? I refuse to play that game, and won’t sing his new politically correct version of our national anthem or ever call y’all ‘peoplekind’! Lol but enough of my political rant (for now)
On my travels I saw some cool stuff: hundreds of motorcycles and about 3 dozen HA’s (when did all the riders get white hair?) a wild turkey and her brood of 5 turklettes, beautiful rugged mountains and curvey highways. Then arrived at my friends farm with her collection of cats, dogs and horses (and hubby Dave)
In retrospect a very quiet 4th but we did enjoy a lovely breakfast at the golf course. And of course ice cream followed 🤪 Now it may be time for a lazy afternoon nap. Then who knows??
The adventure continues!
