The first day of the 4th of July, Independence Day weekend. When I was a kid this time of the year was almost as important to me as Christmas. In the small town of Belle Fourche, South Dakota it was rodeo time! I was never a fan of rodeos, didn't like the animals being treated so rough. I did like everything that came with the rodeo like the parade, fireworks, family reunions, band concerts and mostly the traveling carnival that came to town each July 4th. I would hear the calyope music of the merry-go-round from our house and would get shaky excited to go for some rides. It is not so exciting anymore----
We went to our daughter's house this morning to give our son-in-law his birthday gift, a neon sign that reads "Free Beer - Tomorrow" and has a beer mug with "moving" foam. Then it was to HyVee grocery store again for what we forgot the other day. It was really crowded but we got a good parking place and made it through.
We decided to bring in a pizza for dinner.
