July 4th!

I interrupt the recap from the past 6 months to say Happy Independence Day! 

We are so thankful & blessed to live in the country we do - I still believe there is no place greater! 

A quick flashback from last year's July 4th that we celebrated at home.  I'll post pictures of this year too....hopefully I'll be all caught up by the fall, right??

And just because I love 4th of July, I thought I'd share that my favorite patriotic song.... "God Bless the USA"  I can just see fireworks & remember July 4th's past when I hear it...I just love it :)

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again
with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars
to be living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away. 


I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.


From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas
from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.,
There's pride in every American heart
and it's time we stand and say:


I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
