The Fourth of July came and went

Some ask us if we celebrate the fourth of July.  I don't know if they know what the fourth of July means and I don't know if they consider themselves the British that we won our independence from.  Some think they too are still fighting the British occupation.  Americans who fought were former British too.

The weather is BBQ weather!  This photo is from our week in Donegal.

The 12th of July also came and went.  Unfortunately with riots this year.  Just up about six blocks above us they were so they were.   Nonsense even to the local folks.  We hope they will resume dialogue soon.  One step forward and often two steps back.  We keep hoping.
