Happy 4th of July!  Today is a day about celebrating freedom, a day to be thankful for friends, and families and those who have given their time and lives to allow us to be free.  At our house, we are holding the 4th Annual Bash– complete with car show, auction, food, fun, and fireworks.  (Okay, so I can’t take credit for the car show, auction and fireworks… but, it sounds good.)  I have mentioned before, I am one of the lucky people who have a front row seat to fireworks in my front yard.

So, whomever you are with today and where ever you are…

Say a pray for those who have served, are serving, will serve, and have made the ultimate sacrifice, for you to be free.

Have a FUN, SAFE, and HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

God Bless America!
