Happy Fourth of July!

Some people may call sitting lakeside for 6 hours reading 300 pages of a great book with people you love nearby doing the same thing, while waiting for seriously late fireworks to begin, an epic fail.  I call it a pretty darn perfect way to spend the Fourth of July.  Add on top of that, actually getting some firework shots that look like fireworks rather than abstract art, and I'm a pretty happy girl.  However, having to wear a fleece in July in Maryland, was a bit unexpected and not all that fun.

Happy Fourth of July America!

Happy Flag day (tomorrow)!

I pledge allegiance to the flag,

of the United States of America,

And to the republic for which it stands,

one nation, under God, indivisible,

with liberty and justice for all.

As much as I go on about moving to England (something that is still at the top of my list of greatest desires) I feel quite humbled and quite honored to be an American.  With all the troubles, problems, and fears we're living with now, it's amazing to see the power of the American Spirit.  For all the terrorists or those wanting to spread evil, there are those that will put their life on the line for us or just quite simply comfort someone in a time of need.  That's why it's so important to celebrate flag day.  It gives us as Americans the chance to salute everything our Red, White and Blue stands for.

 

Happy Flag Day and God Bless America!
