God Bless America

God Bless America, Land That I Love!

Happy Independence Day!!

Are you eating home made ice cream, hot dogs, and hamburgers today? Will you be watching fireworks? Whatever you will be doing today, remember that we celebrate today because of our freedom and it does not come free. Lives are lost each and every day for you and I to have freedom. Please take a minute today to call, thank, or pray for a soldier and our leaders! "Blessed is a nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chooses for his inheritance." ~Psalm 33:12

Yes I do!!!

I went to a water park with my three children yesterday and I realized, I am getting old! I can't handle the heat like I used to. I was worn out by the end of the day yesterday. We all had a fun time and managed to avoid overexposure to the sun. We went through a lot of sunscreen. We reapplied every time it crossed my mind!

Today we are celebrating the holiday weekend at my sister's house ending the evening with fireworks. I am in the process of making some fresh home made salsa. I have cut and chopped almost a whole box of tomatoes and decided to take a coffee break before slicing the onions, garlic, and jalapenos! What are you doing to celebrate this holiday weekend? Whatever it is, be safe, have fun, and make memories!!!

Happy Independence Day Weekend!!!

Wordless Wednesday Explanation

For those of you wondering what all of the excitement was about on my Wordless Wednesday post, he was watching fireworks. He was very excited and enjoyed himself! He was not being poked, prodded, or tickled in any way. He was simply overcome with joy and excitement at the display of fireworks that we were enjoying!

Saturday Photo Hunt - Pointed

My 61st

This Week's Theme: Pointed
SPH Headquarters ~ The Other 50

"Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed (little) man!"
When you have children you learn to "pick your battles" so to speak. Last night I picked mine. I gracefully bowed out. In fact, I didn't even come armed! We were getting ready to go celebrate America's Birthday (Independence Day) and we were doing it with family. Tyler had been stomping around the house with his pointed toed cowboy boots and this silly cowboy hat his Aunt got for him a while back. I put his festive tee shirt on him and some shorts then we got down to his foot wear. He immediately ran to his boots that he had just removed and put them back on. I asked him if wanted to wear his shoes. He pointed his finger at me and informed me that he was a cowboy and cowboys had to wear their boots, so my only request was that he wear socks so I didn't end up nursing blisters today. He complied and all was well. He was the sharpest dressed little guy at the gathering. *wink*

Oh, and my good friend Morgen from It's A Blog Eat Blog World was the featured Photo Hunter for last week's theme, Bright. Go check out Mo's Egypt photo and CONGRATS to you, my dear!

Soggy in the South

This is a shot of our back yard today. For the first time in years it is raining on Independence Day here in central Arkansas, USA. We have plans to attend a back yard barbecue this evening followed by fireworks. Hopefully this rain will end it's wrath very soon and we can do just that. In the mean time we're curled up on the couch watching television. I hope that my fellow Americans are enjoying their day and staying dry!
