This has certainly been one of the "lowest keyed" 4th of Julys that I remember. One of my earliest memories is of our Turner relatives parking their Model "T" in our yard to watch the fireworks in the City Park just across the railroad tracks from our place. I remember of seeing them put the top down so they could see the aerial displays better. Then more recently the top of the amphitheater was blown off on the night of the 4th. When we lived on the farm north of Garland, Dad would drive the old Model A Ford up to the top of the hill just north of our house and we could see the Seward display-but not very well. The highlight of today is when Carolyn came down for a short visit and brought our pillboxes for the week.
This was taken in our backyard on 1st street when the kids and grandkids were here for Julie and John Owens Wedding. The picture was taken on the 21st of July, 2010 and the Wedding was on July 24th. Those 10 years have gone by pretty fast but Sadie will be 8 next month and Jack will be 6 this fall. They have had built and settled in a new house here in Seward and John has built a new Edward Jones Office and increased his staff. That is all favorable progress. We keep our fingers crossed in looking forward to the day when a vaccine is available for the coronavirus. We hear estimates of it. being here by the first of the year and just hope and pray that it can be that soon. Those Kids are at the point in school that they shouldn't be deprived of the full treatment
