Happy Birthday America!

I have only a quick moment this morning to write as I am quite busy preparing for our 4th of July Celebration. Red White and Blue as far as the eye can see, what a wonderful display of patriotism as the nation is celebrating The United States of America's Birthday. The sound of firecrackers are already popping the anticipation of the firework display is growing!

What are your traditions as you celebrate the 4th of July?

Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue

Yes, we are still celebrating the 4th of July! The twinkle of sparklers, the boom of the fireworks lit the night skies once again last night and we are anticipating yet more this evening. The 4th of July, the unofficial declaration of Summer!

In the past I've spent the 4th of July at the beach, in the mountains, at downtown community celebrations, however it is the neighborhood celebrations with family and friends where the most vivid memories live. Foot races, card games, swimming with watermelons, patriotic music blaring, red white and blue the color theme of the week, cook outs, gorging on hot dogs, homemade ice cream, chips and cupcakes. Late nights, laughter, gallons of lemonade and sweet tea, more food, more games and another night sky filled with explosions of twinkle, sparkle, glittering colors. Boom! Boom! BOOM!

God Bless America!

From this Day Forward

AMERICA! The UNITED STATES of AMERICA!

We are more than the president, more than the people, greater than our differences. We are One Nation! We are Americans!

Therefore it is now time to INVEST in AMERICA!
EMBRACE America, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the people, the government. Hold your chin up, walk forth with purpose, determined to heal and bind the wounds.
 AMERICA is STILL a GREAT Nation!

Be determined to purchase products MADE IN AMERICA.
Be determined to speak ENCOURAGING words ~
If you can't say anything nice....shhhhhhh....don't say anything at all.
Be determined and sing patriotic songs, wave American flags, thank our military, and read biographies and history books of our Founding Fathers!
Be determined to be Proud to be an AMERICAN.

Breathe deep. Stretch. Reach out and support this great land as TOGETHER UNITED as ONE NATION we will go forward guided by the Constitution , the Declaration of Independence, the Founding Fathers, and yes, even the Pilgrims.

I am looking forward to Veteran's Day! A day to Honor and give due respect to our Veterans!
