Thank you, John Philip Sousa! What a great march to accompany our Fourth of July celebration! Grandpa Dan made patriotic floats for Tori, Juli, and Christian to carry in our very own parade, and this was the march we chose for the grand event. The soaring piccolo obligato always reminds me of Dan's mother, Miriam, who took great pride in having played that part in her high school band. I had visions of all of us doting spectators singing along with the music, but mercy! I couldn't find a way to fit in all the syllables, and no one minded a bit. We were kept plenty busy just cheering on the little marchers. Penny brought glowsticks and a necklace making craft for the kids, and after dinner, the guys bided their time watching soccer until it was dark enough for fireworks. They earned a little well-deserved chill time after laying sod at Neil and Penny's house the previous day. Brothers Greg, Neil, and Shane, real men at work.
