Food, Fun, Family, Friends, and Freedom

Just popping in real quick to say that we have company this week and so the posting will be light to nil this week. I hope that everyone has had fun and reflective Independence Day celebrations. Fireworks and sparklers always remind me of being a kid in the dark and humid Oklahoma nights of July at Lake McAlester. Those were the early days of grooming this patriette and I hope to pass that pride in culture and nationality on to my daughters, too.

I found this mythic story from the Revolutionary War of a brave young woman quite inspiring. I hope you will, too.

Big-thankful-for-living-in-the-Land-of-the-Free-and-the-Home-of-the-Brave smile for you :)
