Will You go off with me on the Fourth?

It is hard to believe the Fourth of July, American's celebration of its Independence, is just one week away.  I will have a bunch of friends and family here for the entire extended weekend starting Wednesday night.  It is going to be so much fun.

I just love these vintage celebratory Fourth of July pieces.  The caption for this one is especially clever.

Have a marvelous day!

Riding a Rocket -Postcard Friendship Friday #461

I love these vintage Fourth of July postcards.  Their bright colors and total disregard for the safety of  children is amazing!  Though I have to admit, riding on a rocket like this young fellow, seems like it might be great fun.

When I was a little girl, I can remember sitting on Daddy's shoulders watching fireworks.  We would go to the Alpenrose Dairy every Fourth of July.  It was a grand tradition for years and years.

These days there's a fabulous parade which goes right past my place, as well fireworks over the river only four blocks away.  We have a big potluck that day and lots of folks come to sit and watch the parade.

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays.  It nearly rivals Christmas!

Have a wonderful weekend, wherever you are, dear Friends!  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
