4th of July Fun.

We have always had some sort of gathering for the 4th of July.  Even before I started the Community House when we were just the original Art Garage, we had food, games and connection on the 4th.  The 4th is also special to be because it was when our family would have its reunion and it was always held at my parent's place in Chicago.

So it is an honor now to continue the tradition of connecting.  This year it feels especially important since for the kids to have continuity and to know that we are still here for them.  They arrived with friends this year.  It was double cheeseburgers for everyone, baked beans, spaghetti and watermelon from Ethel, and waterbaloons and tie dye for fun!

These moments, as small as they are, are big memories.  Small but sincere, that is the name of our game.
