My American flag is flying. I attended the Farragut Annual Independence Parade, and I baked a Cherry Pandowdy that is loaded with sweet and tart cherries. Not a bad start to July Fourth.
The fireworks have been going off for days. This evening the sky will light up bringing an end to this years celebration.

28th Annual Independence Day Parade
Among picnics, baseball games, outdoor concerts, there is the annual Farragut Independence Day Parade. From the looks of it, the entire town was present as the rain held off until 10 minutes before the end. The umbrella's came out, and no one left until the last float passed.
As the parade began, two helicopters flew low over the route of the parade leading the way.
Isn't it funny how red, white and blue represent freedom...
Until they're flashing behind you.
An all American Cowboy, I call him precious!
This brought back memories, I grew up watching Andy Griffith.
How does she ride that???
the ones who fight for out freedom.
Thank a soldier for the freedom you have today.
