Happy 4th of July to all!!

I hope everyone has a fantabulous 4th of July! With gas prices sky high, the economy in a rut, etc. this is still the greatest country on earth. No where else can I, as a woman, have the opportunities I have. My grandparents really knew what they were doing when they came here. I will always treasure them.

I'll never forget when I was in England, 15 or so years ago and I was walking down the street eating an ice cream cone. People were staring crazy at me, later to find out there was some stupid law that permitted such behavior. Silly, right? But of course everyone smoked everywhere and that was OK. That, plus the food, yikes! I was so happy to get home. I guess once you've been out of the country, you realize what you have when you don't have it, even if it's an ice cream cone outside.

Well, have a great 4th, enjoy your freedom and stay safe, friends!

God Bless AMERICA!!!
