Yes!! I have been M.I.A. but I'm back, and am in full swing again. I have a conglomerate of family events, great food and fun to share with you, right here- right now!
Two weeks ago we made a road trip to Savannah area. My son Jonathan & his GF Alexis live in a small community town called Port Wentworth, along with their dog Duke...who's last name just happens to be Hazzard. {did ya catch that... Duke of Hazzard?!~!} Every year Port Wentworth closes it's main streets for a special celebration day of their own called America Day. The day starts with a small town parade through the main street,then there is an all day carnival. The town decorates their houses in American flags and you would be hard pressed to not find a person dressed in red white and blue that day! You can smell the comforting aromas of families & friends bbq'ing throughout the neighborhood.
I loved the small home town feel of this day, it's a step back in time when life was so less complicated.
When was the last time you watched a parade where the local high school ROTC marched in the parade, or your elementary school kids were riding on a make shift float? It was a "feel good day". A bit of strengthening when our country is in a low ebb tide.
You can betcha we will be there each year for this heart felt event
Here's some pix we are sharing of all the Hazzard-ous Gang on America Day.
P.S. the pix of dad saluting was during the America Day parade when a local active duty infantry marched in the parade.. this troop had just returned from a tour in Afghanistan. Dad saluted them as should be.
