Happy 4th of July Everyone! In honor of this occasion, I am featuring a photograph of my mother Mary taken in Fort Collins in June of 2003. She was up here from Stuart, Florida, visiting my sister Susan, brother-in-law George, and me, escaping the summer heat down there. Today marks 244 years since the Declaration of Independence, not really that remarkable an anniversary - not like the 200th one back in 1976. That was the year my parents (Nelson and Mary) moved to Stuart from Chicago. I myself had just rented a studio apartment in Forest Park, near the end of the "L" line, and took it that day to see the tall ships at Chicago's Navy Pier. I am not sure where they came from, but they were indeed fun to see. Sadly, you don't see tall ships that much any more, especially here in Denver. Go figure.
