4th of July.


One of my very best friends in the world was up visiting me from California. She brought her kids along and McKenzie and Ethan, who used to play together when she lived in Ashland had some good play time. Riley, her 2 year old had such a love for our 2 guinea pigs and our only cat, Jasper. She was such a doll and joy for Callie to have someone to play with. I only wish Carie and I had more time to catch up. Thanks for coming Carie and my door is always open if you need a place to crash. Thanks for all the cute flowers for McKenzie's hair. We so love them all.

On another note, I was thinking about all the lives lost both creating the freedom, preserving the freedom and trying to provide that freedom for others. It's so easy to take it for granted to expect it and think it's just always going to be there no matter what. But this life and life style is fragile. It's a gift. A privilege. I am thankful and proud to be an American. My prayers are with the soldiers and their families that make the daily sacrifice for that freedom. I am so very thankful to be here enjoying those freedoms and opportunities and life with my family and the people that I love. We are so blessed. God bless America. Forever.
