Sunday, July 3

            I enjoy watching the Wimbledon tennis tournament from The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club during the July 4^th weekend, as a further reminder of America’s British heritage.

Monday, July 4

            I try to keep clear the difference between the songs:

America (“My country ‘tis of thee…”);

America the Beautiful (“O beautiful, for spacious skies….”); and

God Bless America (“land that I love….”).

Tuesday, July 5

            What a great long weekend of waving the flag; remembering veterans past and present; fireworks; hot dogs on the grill; apple pie; swimming; parades; and watching the concerts from Washington, D.C. and the Boston Pops.
