Happy 4th of July!!

It is my hope that everyone has a wonderful and safe Independence Day.

It is such a great holiday. Time for family and friends to get together and share
a cookout and some fireworks.

A good time to reflect on the current situation overseas and know how grateful we are to be free!

I know there won't be any fireworks at my house. Right now my daughter is deathly afraid of any loud noises. She has always and continues to be afraid of the vacuum cleaner. Any loud yard-work machines. Thunder has been a big issue lately so I know fireworks would go over real well!!!

If your kids are old enough, try to spend a few minutes letting them know what this day means to us as a nation. What sacrifices our men and women are making overseas, all in the name of freedom. What a great thing.

Happy 4th!
