The 4th of July dawned bright and hot and promised to stay that way all day. Today is parade day, and the corps would be performing in two: one in Bristol, RI and the other one in Norwood, MA. Bruno asked that we serve a hearty breakfast because the corps would be on the go all day. When I got up at 5 or so, Jay was already up and making his special biscuits. He let me know that I would be making sausage gravy.
