The tradition died when they did and we sold the house and, thus, the beginning of new Independence Day traditions.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-BtSuew-2F4xkWwMuEAG9fbG_L9xSeIv2k0VxfQYDykJmxlN2nJoAtSC_eYpZsKNcnWjM9UZGsLTfWjJJ8zxxyhUXIYe3wLhN5pC-8AvNe2SAZz-ipU8DYH3lIJtY4huOrDQRZA4I0o7G/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
