Happy Birthday, America!
Cory and I spent our 3rd Independence Day as married couple together this year, and our first in Tennessee! Buzz was still with us from the move out, and the three of us had a blast our first week in Cordova. (For the record, we live in Cordova, which is just to the east outside of Memphis.) I am not sure we can adequately describe how much of a help Buzz has been to us during the move. It was great to have her with us for our first week here. Cory found out that Cordova puts on a local parade for the 4th, and so we headed to the Community Center to check it out.
While we were inside we visited the one room "Cordova Museum", and it was actually interesting. The Community Center used to be a school, and the museum is set up like a small elementary school classroom. There are little trinkets and artifacts to see, including a civil war era sword used by a soldier from the area. The people were all so nice, and it was a good way for me at least to feel some more attachment to the community. Here are Cory and Buzz waiting for the parade to start.
The parade was nothing compared to Provo, but we expected that, and kind of liked it, too. Mostly antique cars drove by, and people hoping to get elected, but there were some girls on horses at the end. I was loving it.
Afterwards they had soda, popcorn, and chips for everyone who came. We even met the mayor. He came over to us and welcomed us to the community.
Later that night we headed south to Germantown to watch the fireworks. It was a great show, and a great 4th of July!
Happy 4th ... we all went over to Alamito's Bay and watched the Fireworks on the 3rd, kind of odd to me, but it was nice to see them anyway.
