Five of My Random Thoughts This Week

A day late but it's holiday time so perhaps you will forgive me for posting on Saturday. The meme, however, is Random Five Friday  Why don't you go over to Nancy Claey's meme and read about everyone's random five? Here are mine!

1. How great it is to be able to celebrate our freedom and our liberty. Just scared that we are losing a lot of both.

2. Reading is a wonderful pastime. Sometimes it fills us with pleasure, sometimes knowledge. When you get both in the same book... now, that's good reading.
 
3. How cute it was watching great-grandson at the fresh corn stand. He shucked himself an ear and proceeded to eat the entire ear of raw corn!


4. So good to sit out in the open air and listen to a live band playing patriotic songs last night. A great way to top off the Fourth of July for me.


5.  Just remembering all those who gave their lives for us to have our freedom. This picture is of the cemetery on Midway Island.

    I enjoyed this post. Your GGson looks too cute with a cob of corn almost as big as him.

    Home town celebrations are special and looks like you had a great time. Freshly corn is sure good eatin, cooked or not as your great grandson knows!

    What a cutie your g/grandson is!!! I can't imagine eating the whole ear of corn raw, it must have been sweet corn.

    Your holiday sounds like fun!

    Great Random 5. Your great grandson knows how to capture that fresh-picked taste--so cute. Agree with your #1 thought and fear.

    Adorable great grandson, I bet the ear of corn was sweet even raw. He knows what is good. I enjoy hometown celebrations.

    Latane! When I saw the picture of the stage in front of the Times, I thought: I was there too!! But I wasn't: we went the week before for the concert to kick off Olden Days.
    You & I may just end up at the same place and time, since we don't really live that far apart.
    In fact, I had lunch in Waverly this week!
