I’m guessing next year will be extra special celebration. 250 years. I remember the 200. I was a young kid and it was magical to me all of the red white and blue everywhere.
For me, it is a weekend of relaxation. My wife went to visit her family in Oklahoma, and my parents have passed, and my kids all live in different states, so I'm bacheloring it. Living in a town of migrants, I haven't heard a single firecracker yet, and have the only American flag waving as far as I can see.
