Happy 250th 🇺🇸! I remember as 👧🏻 getting hyped up for 200th by late dad Ray, most patriotic American ever (📸 w/ Mom & my kid at my age back then). He helped me collect bicentennial quarters from all the states & understand 🌠on their “tails” and drilled me on 🇺🇸 civics too! 🎆

20 yo called me to talk through some 🤪 home-cooked meal he is making and I refrained from excessive criticism and it may be my pinnacle of parenting patience (and happiness too). 🏅 ❤️ 🤗
