woke up on the forth of july in canada.. somehow fitting given where our country is heading. these days.. 
I did notice that teh meds I take every day are still red, white and blue.. so im at least that patriotic still .. I’m not porud of what are govement is doign to our contry or its standing in the world.. but I’m still very proud to be an american . 

we headed down to the US late morning.. then spent a few hours workin around the house. About 4 we headed to shelbourne museum for a picnic,  a VSO concert… and fireworks.. 

They played the star spangled banner.. and I was oddly stirred.. again.. the more our country is loosing is principles of openness and , welcoming  to foreingers.. and being a strong and compassionate collaborative leader in the world.. the more dissalusioned I become with  our government.. 

but I still love our contry for what it still stands for.. ..despite what the current administration is trying to change.

Picnicing was great.. saw lots of freinds, ate soem great foods, and listened to a really fun concert..  lots of croud pleasers.. patriotic songs.. sousa marches, west side story.. it was fun in a kind of guilty pelasure kind of way

the fireworks were great !

Happy forth ya’ll ! lets take better care of our coutnry !

nite all, nite sam
