Happy Independence Day

from Krazy Kaptions!

Roger and Sammy never minded volunteering for the St. Veronica's School for Girls' Fourth of July Pageant because it always seemed to give them a leg up later on when playing Post Office at various birthday parties...

The Donners were rightfully proud of their extravagant homemade July 4th parade float, though the driver, Uncle Jason, had to take special care during any sharp right or left turns!

Patty had to take her Independence Day sparklers out to the edge of the yard since Pam had opted to wear her new polyethylene bathrobe outside for the festivities...

Bonus Pic:

Fun was fun with the hats and all, but after more than forty-five minutes of waiting patiently for Uncle Cy to bring in the barbecued chicken, The Richardsons were getting close to a 4th of July mutiny!

Edna Rae had no knowledge of it at the time that while she was stopping in the doorway for a kiss on the cheek from Ferdie, he was busy watching her sister Leatha maneuver a cardboard box of casseroles out of the backseat of their car...

Gregg was so busy posing for photos with Stephen that they darn near forgot about Richard, who'd long since lost his skis and wasn't sue how far back they were!

Even though things were often quite casual at Pete's backyard hangout, Brian still thought it was tacky to drink straight from the can, so he always requested a glass...

It turned out to be a joyous occasion when The Marcums could schedule a family reunion, though it also meant that the Sugartit, Kentucky Circle K was closed down for six hours with no one left to work there that day.

And then suddenly Brenda noticed the blank space on the wall and realized that the 8x10 of her in her 4th grade dance recital costume was mysteriously missing from the rest of the display...

It was quite a shock when the portrait of Myrna and Gerald Bludgeon suddenly fell from the wall and hit their descendants, though only Vickie was in any way hurt. Margie and Mona had added protection from their hairdos.

Family portraits of Emily Ann and Rodney were always a bit unusual since they didn't care to stand still for long. And, in this one, Emily Ann tried out a new rendition of the game "Duck, Duck, Goose!" on her brother...!

Initialy, she was enraged that Carlos wanted to drive to Ezra and Janine's wedding with the top down on their convertible, but when Evelyn realized she had a hat that matched her purse and a strip of leftover dress fabric, she compromised and added to her ensemble accordingly...

Julie Marie's 24th birthday almost proved to be her last, but it did teach her not to light a couple dozen candles right next to her bottle of Cutex nail polish remover!

Upon his first return home on leave, Private Slocombe had to admit to himself that the professionally-airbrushed, wallet-sized photo of Denise that he carried with him was quite a bit more captivating than the real thing...

Tiddles loved it when Richard and Vonda spent time in their pool and on the bridge and patio because it temporarily removed any blame for little puddles and wet marks in the area...

Georgia's transformation of service station manager Clem into her ideal date was nearly complete. She'd taken him to every good store in town for shirts, suits, shoes and even a good haircut. Only one key element remained...

What Marc spied in the lifeguard changing room gave him quite a start, not to mention quite a decision to make... report what he saw or join in?!

Felice saw that the lawn was still damp and didn't want to spoil her dyed-to-match shoes before the Ladies Easter Egg Dyeing Brunch, so she asked Ronnie to pitch in and get her over the car.

Troy asked Suzanne over and over again to step away from the plane before he started the engine or she'd wind up going from a Marlo Thomas to a Mia Farrow thanks to the jet intake!

For some reason, Barbie was having a hell of a time containing Rascal, the Jack Russell-Fox Terrier mix that her ex-boyfriend Jim had given her as a puppy right before he split...

Timmy and Roger loved it when Uncle Cliff came on vacation with the family because they could always coerce him into playing Jonny Quest with them, with Timmy as Jonny, Roger as Hadji and Cliff as the heroic Race Bannon.

Sister Mary Herman and Sister Joan Melville liked to break with tradition on Saturdays and take one of their parishioner's speedboats out for a zip along the water, getting a closer look at some of God's creatures in the process.

After her narrow escape from Kong Island, Jessie took an assumed name and began working as a bunny for The Playboy Club. However, in a startling turn of events, Kong donned a dress shirt (per the dining room policy) and took her by surprise one night!

Happy as Rowena was to have Gil back home safe after another tour of duty, she realized that, for a few weeks anyway, she was going to have to forsake his cousin Randy...

Fun as it was to dismantle a piece of the ferry and turn it into a chapeau, Garry soon realized his error when the island policeman turned around to witness the vandalism and soon took him to the nearby jailhouse to cool down and sober up!

Part of Audra's rehabilitation at the New Dawn Reform School for Girls was to take part in work-study program. She chose modeling, though after this initial shoot she began leaning towards demonstrating tools & hardware more than fashion...

Out at Aunt Hester's Cowgirl Ranch for Pending Divorcees in Reno, Nevada, she couldn't understand not only why so many of the gals had a lasting interest in horseback riding, but also why the lessons with Buster seemed to last for the better part of a given afternoon!

Becky worked hard on her magic act for the Briarwood Talent Show and Seafood Brunch, but the only thing that truly disappeared was her boyfriend Roy after he got a good look at her trunk-like legs in this costume...

The first thing Terrence did to draw Frankie in was "forget" to bring two blankets to the beach. Next, he made sure to tune into a radio station that played plenty of Julius La Rosa, Paul Anka and Al Martino...

Susan was desperately tired of watching her charges, Cindy and Jimmy Casey, so she took a few minutes to lay train track that would only lead one way, over to Mrs. Schottheimer's house where they'd have a hard time escaping before an hour or two had passed...

Thanks to a sudden burst of river current and a raft slightly underinflated by Harold, Estelle had to make one of those emotionally demanding life choices: Save the beer or save the hair!
