What Makes America Great

Today, I realized that the backyard barbeque is one of the things that makes America great. It was sunny, in the mid-70’s, and all the neighborhood was out to play. Around six or so, everyone fired up their grills and the block was filled with the fragrant smoke of a dozen burgers. I lit up the outdoor fire pit and dug out some marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers, and everyone gravitated back to our yard. We chatted, we scarfed smores, the kids ran around with the dog — and we experienced real community. This is what freedom is all about.
