July 4 was always a favorite holiday of mine.
We would got to my Uncle Freddy's and have the best time.
He would cook us lamb on the skewer
and that was a treat for us all.
Of course, there was tons of food and family.
He invited anyone and everyone.
My cousins would come from Kentucky!
Aunt Lilly would get out that paddle ball and go crazy.
Of course there were card games, Skip Bo and Phase Ten.
Then at dark we would do sparklers on the porch
and walk to Lake Ann for fireworks.
Oh the memories, sure do miss Freddy and Lilly!
Yes, yes, yes! Don't forget the bubbles -- I can still remember exactly how sticky they'd be when I spilled them.
