I went to Norris, Tennessee today. The local quilt guild, Bits and Pieces, has a show on July 4th every year. I know several members of the group since they belong to my guild. The show was in a church right on the square downtown. The quilt show was small but there were some lovely quilts. After that we wandered down on the square. The first thing we saw was a slip and slide for the kids. Then lots of awnings under which local politicians were vying for votes. We got to see tons of kids on their decorated bikes racing for blue ribbons. We stopped by the library where they were selling off old books. It was stepping back in time. What a great way to celebrate the 4th.
Today was a fun filled day for Josh and I. We got to spend the afternoon with his brother and sister-in-law and our nephew, Bryson. We had some delicious food and lots of laughs. After some time with them cooking out and some fireworks with them we headed to Nashville to see the 2nd best firework show in the states. Little did we know we would be among a lot of other people trying to head downtown. We ended up being stuck ok traffic for 3 hours and we had to watch the fireworks in a dead stop on the interstate. Definitely a first for me!
