Happy Birthday, America, you will be two hundred thirty-two years old on the 4th! Parades, fireworks, picnics, everything red, white, and blue — what a day of celebration.

    If you are in the area of Easton, Pa., it is worth stopping downtown, especially if you have some children with you. We stopped on our way back from New Jersey to see if it was a potential place to take our grandson Max. Crayons are the big draw, and Easton is where the factory, museum, and gift shop are all located.
