My kids grew up on on the 4th of July parade route.They've got Red, White and Blue coursing through their veins.
Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles . . .
They were all thrilled to call us KIN, since we provided prime seating on the route -
directly under two colossal sycamores, planted by pioneers 150 years ago.

Living on the parade route provided some unique opportunities
for my young entrepreneurs.

Could you resist these kids?
And of course you'd be persuaded to buy lemonaideif you read a sign like the one BELOW . . .
(Yes. That's ME on that ladder. What else does a mom do in these situations?)
Truth be told, we DID make enough $$$ to replace that bicycle.(Good thing.)
Oh the exhilaration, the passion of Independence Day!
We felt it deeply back then.
And we still have those stirrings.
