It’s been 232 years, and in spite of the excesses of government and citizens in recent years, the United States is still standing. That’s something worth celebrating.
We’re forgetting the "gloom and doom" around here today. John is keeping busy with the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo [I hope you're having fun John!] and I’m going to stay busy trying to keep my kids from burning down the Texas Hill Country. Fireworks are illegal in the Phoenix area, so my recently transplanted kids are way too excited about the possibilities today!
