The Fourth of July is loud - fireworks and crowds and barbecues. Because I am by nature, a very quiet person, I can enjoy the holiday by spending time with children and others who get great joy from the festivities and because, as my older sister reminded me recently, we have such wonderful memories of the day from childhood. Also there is always a view to the end or at least the next morning - which dawns quiet and peaceful. Patriotic decorations are fun, too, such as the hand painted and assembled
Welcome sign on the front porch above and the china cabinet shelf display below which boasts a furry version of Uncle Sam and a couple of primitive containers with flag motifs.

And lastly the dining table centerpiece - a star-wrapped hurricane candle that rests on a quilted placemat (also replete with stars). All are small efforts to celebrate our sweet land of liberty!
