Freedom

we are thankful to join with All Americans in celebrating our freedom  to worship and live and work and do
we spent the day here and there--  the celebration  started early the day before (3rd of July) going to the mountains for a drive--throwing rocks in the stream with the Kirks--then the 4th we went to lunch with Joe and Hayley then for fireworks to Farmington with Bryan and Brianne...We also celebrated with a good old fashion hot dog here at our home for our dinner.  What a great thing it was for the men of this country to gain our independence from Britain and at a great sacrifice.  Thanks to them

...."and the rockets red glare,,,,the bombs bursting in air  gave proof to the night  that our flag was still there --oh say doth that star bangled banner wave or the home of the free and the land of the brave."

tonight the fireworks On july 5 are in the form of a lightning storm...
I am proud to be an American and thrill always at the lines penned in the star spangled banner.  How blessed --how very very blessed we are.
