Happy Fourth!

I've been listening to the History Channel all morning. I'm amazed at how much of our American history I have forgotten over the years. It's good to have these documentaries to remind us of our great heritage. Our generation knows nothing of the sacrifice it took to become the great nation we now are.

I've also been making potato salad and cutting up melons. We're having a very small, informal family affair this afternoon. It's too hot to do much else. But it sure is nice to get my children around the table every once in a while!

Enjoy the holiday, and stop to remember what we have, and how tragic it would be to lose it all. We still have a voice and we need to use it.
