July 4th...

...2019...We celebrate America...greatest country on earth for 243 years and counting.

I hope today is more for you than just time off from work enjoying some good food...more than just fireworks, family and friends.

I hope you contemplate - truly consider - the tremendous sacrifices made by generations before to secure our freedoms and make our liberty a reality.

We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to those who have gone before.  Their bravery and service made our current estate of peace and prosperity possible.

Give Thanks...

...and God Bless America!

Got this from Larry up in Traverse City...

...what a gorgeous picture...he's a blessed man to enjoy this beautiful view of the northern Michigan sunset and I appreciate him sharing it with us.

They also have an air show to celebrate Independence Day...

...very impressive.

Here's a pic of us hosting a recent cocktail party...

...what?  Are you calling me a liar?

Fine, I admit it...we don't have that many friends nor enough money to pay people to pretend to be our friends...but I can't help it...love that print by Diane Dempsey of https://retrolifestylecompany.com

Ok, you're off the hook for now...short, mid-week entry due to Independence Day.

Get out there and enjoy this, our nations's birthday!

later, mcm fans...
