ON A TYPICAL 4TH OF JULY

 

"Southern American" celebrations might go something like this :

 

...HEY -BILLY JOE BOB...

 


 

NOW FIRE IT ON UP !

("on" - often pronounced "own")

 

 

July 4th Fire It On Up

  

And, of course, we include some of Grandmama's finest 'fine-ry' too :

("My dear - your smile and your bosom may be fake, but your silver must be real!")

(George III Silver Toasting Fork / Pair Silver 18th Century Neoclassical Tapersticks

Good Set of Four William IV Silver Knife Rests  - the other two shown below)

 


 

AND ICE THAT STUFF ON DOWN !

(Don't forget to say "on" just right)

That RC's company was born in 1905 - right down in Georgia.  My daddy knew 'his people'.

 


 

All the preparations and celebration are naturally accompanied by a patriotic tune,

 - - or two :

You can sing along if you want ...

 

....Oh-h-h, say can you "Tweet",

Re : the meat and the sweets

 May they e'er be "Flag" eats ....

 

From the mountains to the prairies

To the oceans white with foam

God bless America  (and bless your heart too) ....

 

Away - away down South in Dixie ....

 


 

And may YOUR 4TH  be sunny and pleasant as well !

 

Bye now...call me....ya'll be careful, you hear...

P.S. Setting those sparklers off resulted in setting the firecrackers off,

which resulted in the smoke detectors going off -

which brought the Memphis fire department over for a short visit. 

We all had a fine time - took some pictures too!
