We’re not doing much. Mr.Beachy is grilling ribs and we may rent a movie or watch events on TV. But I’ve been busy this week and want some R&R for the next few days before I go back to work.

~Happy Independence Day~
To The Canteen

            

Independence?
The Lady holds a tablet. There is a date engraved.
July 4, 1776. A memo that we saved.
Within that page of History, we hold the American Rose.
Pressed by weight of moments, the album now we close,

To mark the beginning of Man’s finest striving,
Wherein heroes, villains, and events were arriving,
At a small town we call Philly, (That’s where we keep the bell.)
To speak their piece, and start a war, and put them all through Hell.

It was a needed moment. We had to take our place,
Among the giants of the earth, for Life stepped up the pace.
We had to shoulder burdens, that no one else could bear,
And send the finest of our land, to fix things ‘over there.’

The blood we shed has nourished the Freedom that we sowed,
And gave the homeland back ten-fold, all debts that we had owed.
Just to ensure survival of the plantings that we nourished.
We went back for a second time, to make sure that it flourished.

We thought that we could take a break, and live a private life,
Unburdened by the problems of the world and all its strife.
But this small world kept shrinking, and our moat gives no protection,
From enemies who should be friends, except for their infection.

We’ll need to cure their illness, whatever the cost may be,
Or we will not enjoy the life we have, a life of liberty.
It’s not enough to shine a light beside the door,
We have to go among them, and boost the ‘yearnings’ of the poor.

As to libations, I have three words to say to you:

SINGLE MALT SCOTCH!!!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[beachn4fun]

Good evening and Happy Independence (almost) Day, Meg ((HUGS))

[SkyDancer]

Ya, shipped stuff home and living out of a suitcase LOL

My folks live just about a half inch from the left side of the picture up 600ft from the water.

[AZamericonnie]

I’ll watch all the festivities on TV and thank God I’m an American...

[ConorMacNessa]

There will be a difference this year - I will be sous chef - I'm yielding place to John-Man - he has learned well and is ready to take over!



John-Man's First Victory At The Grill - 2013

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[MEG33]

How beautiful!

[AZamericonnie]

Happy Independence Day to you!

Family yes...Sonboy is off tomorrow so think we'll go see “America”.

Might even cheat on the cooking & go out to eat. That’ll be a first but the idea of less work is very appealing to me right now!:)

A long weekend for you? Writing time?

my bed is calling my name.

Before I go I need to pitch Col. Allen West's new book, "Guardian of the Republic".
I highly recommend it.
Now, during our Independence Day is the perfect time to read it.

May you all have a wonderful, joyful Independence Day!
