I hope your weekend has been GREAT -- and that you are celebrating Independence Day in a some special way.  But even if you are working today, or stuck in the house... if you are sick, or taking care of someone else... you can STILL celebrate 4th of July!!  Here in America is a day to celebrate the many freedoms that we still do have in our country.  And also a day we should remember all of those who have sacrificed so much that we may have this freedom.  My son is in the Navy, my husband was in the Army, and many men in my family have served in the US Military, and even served (some have died) in wars....so I honor their service and sacrifice.

Now -- to share some special photos with you!  First a little background... We live in a small Southern town... and one thing that seems to run deep are the family and friendship roots.  For as many years as we have lived here we have shared an evening of fireworks for 4th of July with some friends.  As a family, they put on a fireworks display that would compete easily with the fireworks put on by a town.  But here... you see how you like them!!  Enjoy -- and HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!

I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts
