Country Line Dancing ...

“Sweet days of summer, the jasmine’s in bloom

July is dressed up and playing her tune …

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine,

Blowing through the jasmine in my mind …”

                                  “Summer Breeze”

                              ~ Seals & Croft

                                           ~ 1972

The sight of laundry dancing on the clothesline in the gentle summer breeze “dresses up” the countryside of Kempton, Pennsylvania on a beautiful June afternoon.

Bravo, America ! ...

“With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.”

          ~ from the inspiring Inaugural Address of

                President John Fitzgerald Kennedy

                                  ~ 1917-1963

                35th President of 

                    the United States of America

                              ~ 1960-1963

                              & U.S. Navy veteran

The celebration of freedom is colorfully etched in the night sky by Fourth of July fireworks set off at Dorney Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Happy Birthday, America! Bravo! 

How wonderful it would be to have fireworks – and the fire of patriotism – in our hearts every day!
