Celebrating The 4th On The 3rd
Light and Stand Back
I’m being extra lazy today and using the same photo on two different blogs Cooper gave his permission – awfully nice of him
July 3rd
Hope everyone has a safe and sane holiday today. Here in Utah, most of the celebrating happened yesterday, which was July 3rd. Since July 4th fell on a Sunday this year, and due to a sizable amount of the population here in Utah that belong to a single organized religion, shooting off fireworks and having parades gets moved up a day.
I’ve always wondered how something like celebrating the birth of our nation gets trumped by religious mindsets. Sure, those that observe the modern sabbath day are being respectful. And yes, it only happens once every six years. But still, it has puzzled me for years why something so important has to adjust it’s celebration schedule as not to disrupt a religious practice.
Regardless of any ritual, today is the day that we celebrate our independence. And with that, I’m going to go cook some hot dogs and burgers, light some fireworks and throw back a few beverages.
Happy Independence Day to all who celebrate it.

Happy Independance Day! Cooper Trooper seems to be on more sure footing than the last time I saw him!
And they say there’s supposed to be a separation of church and state. Yeah right. Happy 4th anyway! 😉
Happy 4th! And 5th, which is today!
That was maybe the worst comment I’ve ever left. I have no brain today. Sorry. 🙂
Well that implies that Sybil ever… oh wait, better not say anything or she might venture forth from O-hi-o and kick my butt. And I might enjoy it.
Happy Fourth to you, too!
Happy we beat those Brits day!
Hope you had a great 4th…or 3rd…whatever. Or since it is the 6th right now, hope you are having a happy 6th too.
The 4th of July parade runs by my home about a block away. My parents made the short walk with my kids to watch the floats and collect thrown candy. I was in Canada over the holiday… 4th of July parades are harder to come by up there.
Holy neglected blog… I should have left comments out here a while ago. Hope all had a great 4th of July.
