Happy 4th

Today I went with some of my family to my Uncle Tom’s property. This is the uncle who passed away yesterday morning, as documented last night.

Uncle Tom and some of his friends were already planning to meet for the holiday. So, we had a cookout. Mom and another uncle took the time to gather up photographs and other belongings for the funeral service this coming weekend.

That’s the house where Uncle Tom lived.

This is one of the views from his property.

On the way back home, I decided to stop and photograph this old church along State Road 1. It’s called Little Cedar Grove Baptist Church and dates back to before Indiana was admitted to the Union. In fact, it is the oldest church in all of Indiana.

Tonight I’m taking my nephew Jake and some others up to the roof of the building where I work, so that we can watch the fireworks shoot off the top of One Indiana Square. Should be a great show this year, as long as the rain stays away. I’m crossing my fingers.
