We had a wonderful Fourth here in Harper. Dorothy didn't open her cafe except to me and Willie and some of our close friends. We had a real good breakfast there and sat around and talked for most of the morning.
We didn't need dinner until around 2 PM and that give us time to get the grills fired up and all the fixings ready for a good holiday meal. Dorothy made her famous fat burgers. They is called that because of all the stuff she mixes in with the meat. She chips up onions real fine and, you might not believe this, but she puts a few corn flakes into the mix. I don't know what the rest of the items is but what ever they is they make one real good hamburger. We had all the usual: dill cole slaw, red potato salad, deviled eggs, chips, etc.
There was four or five kinds of pie, my favorite is buttermilk/lemon pie. After the sun went down we churned ice cream using the old fashioned churns what you has to crank with a handle. I made peach in mine. Then somebody across the lake set off fireworks. I turned the record player up loud playing All American Music. It were more fun than we deserved.
