Here
are pictures from our Fourth of July dinner. It was
SO MUCH fun -- Joanne Ross Giannini and her daughter,
Mary Margaret Giannini, a law professor here in Jacksonville,
had dinner with us, and we not only cooked hot dogs
and Key Lime pie and did sparklers, but we had such
Americana as an abbreviated reading of the Declaration
of Independence, part of Martin Luther King's letter
from the Birmingham Jail, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address,
Calvin Coolidge's Reflections on Independence Day, Psalm
121, the preamble to the Constitution and a listing
of the first 10 Amendments to the Bill of Rights, and
Emma Lazarus's "New Colossus" (give me your
tired, your poor, etc.). Then we sang "America
the Beautiful," "God Bless America,"
"My Country 'Tis of Thee," and the National
Anthem! |
