Properly Celebrating the 4th of July-- Part 1-- Boating, Palatine

We have reached the 234th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Congratulations USA!!

We licked off our celebration today with boating over to McDonald's in Fox Lake for breakfast, the first time we've done it this year. Enjoyed the meal on the boat and fed the ducks and a large number of Canadian geese who came for the food as well. We had a group of peepers (baby mallards) who were very entertaining.

Did a boat float on Fox Lake until 1 pm, came home, worked in the yard and drove to Palatine, stopping at Half Price Books on US-12 where I bought three double Cds and a book on how celebrities and famous folks died and where they are buried.

Visited the grave of Liz's parents, Frances and Amby Klaus at Memory Garden in Arlington Heights. On the way in, somebody had places a Blackhawk Stanley Cup car flag on one grave. That person must have been a BIG HAWK fan and somewhere must be smiling. Finally.
