Happy 4th of July! We’re out on a picnic and floating the river to celebrate. Ginger is sleeping because she knows she’ll be up all night hyperventilating because of fireworks! Grand!
I loved this display of hundreds of flags in Idaho Falls when I visited my sister. It was so inspiring and took my breath away! And then it brought tears to my eyes as I realized each flag pole had a paper attached to it with a deceased serviceman’s name and what city in Idaho he was from. My kids and I walked around and read of all these brave, young men who had given their life for their country…and it was humbling.
To all the brave men in the armed services who lay your lives on the line for our freedoms, I thank you! I love my country. I love those who fight for it. I will do better to fight for the freedoms here at home and not let misguided politicians or others try to destroy what we have.
God bless America!

Happy 4th, Char, and thanks for the remembrance of those whose actions let us continue to celebrate the day.
You are welcome! And look for an awards post next week when I link back to your site! I’m still trying to catch up from June.
LOL! I hope it’s not the one I want to link to yours when I do my next one! 🙂
No it’s me answering yours that you gave me…I think it was Readers appreciation, but I don’t have my file up to check. Something you gave me in June.
There is something moving about a field of American flags. Happy 4th to you and your family.
Thanks Robin! Have a fun patriotic day.
Happy 4th – Enjoy! God Bless America!
Amen! Hope you enjoy!
Wow, Char! Like you said, beautiful and humbling. There is so much to be grateful for, especially in America!
Thanks, Amanda. We do have lots to be grateful for here.
