Madeline Island 2015: First Trip Day 3 - The Fourth of July

Saturday, July 4, 2015

What a fantastic 4th of July. I started my day with coffee on the deck with Dale. I then ventured off to Mission Hill for another blueberry muffin (mission accomplished). Had a nice chat with Fran, Charlie, and Dale upon my return. We hit the 4th of July parade at 10:00 a.m.  It was full of, as it was last year, cheesy, corny, kitschty, sentimental goodness. Afterward the pledge of allegiance was said, the flag raised, the national anthem sung, Common Sense by Thomas Payne read, choir anthems sung, and parade award given. Afterwards we all took a nap!

Fran and Charlie made a fantastic dinner of ribs, coleslaw, fried potatoes, and black beans. Absolutely fabulous. What a load of fun today was. Tonight we're off for the strings concert at the Clubhouse and then fireworks after.
