There's my beautiful mama, Vicki Heilman, snapping a photo with me Fourth of July 2022. We had lots of friends over that day. Mom, the potato salad was a hit!

Nothing beats the Fourth of July in North Idaho

The best day of the summer is almost here. I can picture it now: Fluffy white clouds lazily floating about in a deep blue sky, burgers sizzling on the grill, homemade potato salad and baked beans on the picnic table, oldies music on the radio, faces and hands sticky from cherry Popsicles and Bomb Pops, American flags waving in the breeze, red, white and blue buntings draped on white picket fences, perhaps a water ballon fight breaking out amid the barbecue merriment.
