Happy Fourth of July!!!!
As Gaylen can tell you - I am a total sucker for the Fourth of July. Other than the Christmas season, it is my absolute favorite holiday. I think that comes from many many things. I remember seeing my Grandpa's eyes fill with tears when the flag started the parade. I remember watching the parade from Grandma's porch and going to the cheesy carnival with my cousins, hamburgers cooked by the Lions. They are all happy memories. I still get choked up when I see the flag at the beginning of a parade or when I hear a patriotic song. I believe we live in a choice land, a land designed by our Maker. I am so proud to be an American. May God bless it and those fighting to keep it free.
