Fourth = Flags, Firecrackers, Food, and Fun

Kari and Kijsa are having a party and I'm joining in!

At my house there are flags out by the lake, as you'll see if you look to the right....




and on the front door....











and on the back door....







and in the flower bed....






and on a table runner in the dining room.....









and even on our shirts!












We don't set off fireworks ourselves but we get to see them up and down the lake.....







We cook great stuff.....barbecued pork and corn on the cob and shrimp gumbo and chicken on the grill and baked beans and creamy slaw and garlic bread and apple pie and orange cake and brownies and.....the list goes on and on. And we gather as friends and family to celebrate that this is truly One Nation, Under God. And we thank Him for His great love for us, for the brave men and women who serve at home and in far away places, and for all those who have gone before us who worked and sacrificed so that we might have the unbelievable freedoms that we sometimes take for granted. God bless us every one!
