It's Been Too Long!

I was going to stay on task with this blog but as you can tell I haven't been doing that. It's been a dreary month and I hope that the months that follow will be brighter and cheerier. There's been a lot going on that will hopefully resolve itself eventually.
I guess that's all I have to say right now so I'll close.

"Life is not defined by what you have, even when you have a lot." Luke 12:15

What a Memorable Wet Wedding

The wedding in Fargo was very wet! It was outside at a place called "A Friend's House". They have wonderful accommodations for outdoor weddings but nothing in case of inclimate weather. We all sat outside in the rain, got soaking wet but did get inside the barn for the reception. This is definitely a wedding that we won't forget!

Tomorrow is the 4th of July, our Independance Day! Our son and his wife (she's from England) are coming tonight to spend the holiday with us. She is very excited as this is the first time she's celebrated this holiday. As you can guess, the British don't acknowledge July 4th as anything special. We will be going to our local lake for the fireworks tomorrow evening.

Just a short word about our upcoming presidential election. Remember to vote for the candidate based on what kind of plan is outlined. Everyone is talking about "change" and we need to know what this "change" is going to be. "Change" needs to be explained. Tune in to Bill O'Reilly for a fair and balanced look at politics.

Tomorrow, the 4th of July, OUR Independance Day, celebrate it and remember our "HEROES" that are fighting to keep us free! Freedom comes at a price, freedom IS NOT free. We have to fight for it! Patrick Henry once said, "United we stand, divided we fall." We need to stick together and defend our country for us and all our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. God Bless America, land that I love, God Bless America OUR home sweet home.
