Annual Fourth of July celebration in tiny Faith, NC with my sister Pam! Just like every family, our country has its fair share of the good, the bad, and the ugly and, just like every family, we love and celebrate our country because of and in spite of it all…and we keep working to be our best selves.

July 4, 2017, County #34 – Rowan

Main Street in Faith, NC.

Near the birthplace of Cheerwine.

View from the ferris wheel.

Funny, I thought this flag lost to the nation we’re celebrating.

My sister Pam and me.

Ready and waiting under welcome shade.
