Our family is known for our love of traditions. We have lots of them. One of our favorite traditions is the Fourth of July parade in our town. Jack and I had not missed one in 29 years. I love that we have traditions, but I also love that we are flexible and know what our priorities should be. We missed it this year for a great reason. We wanted to spend time with Jack's dad.
I met Jack down in Florida on Sunday, July 3rd. We were able to see fireworks this year as Jack's brother Paul invited us to watch them from his condo. It was a great display and the local radio station played patriotic music that was synced with the fireworks. Paul provided snacks and some drinks and it was a lovely way to celebrate our country's birth.

Our week with Bucky was fun, meaningful and productive. There is something so special about spending ordinary moments with family. We had fun planning out meals. As soon as we finished breakfast, my question was always,"What are we going to have for lunch?!". Of course! Jack's dad's condo has a fabulous view of a lake and is also just two blocks from a darling downtown area that has lots of shopping and great restaurants. So fun. Each night we enjoyed the sunset and the beautiful cloud formations and great conversation.

I wouldn't trade our time together last week for anything- not even a parade.
