Celebrating the U.S.A.
Freedom
&
The Red, White, and Blue
The words of Jesus as recorded in John 8…
…”If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”
We decided to celebrate the holiday by featuring the red, white, and blue in various ways, starting in our own back yard.
PJ really knows how to display these colors in unique and creative ways!
And then we roamed around town to see some simple ways others, including local businesses, were displaying the colors.
And why not with cars! You know folks love their vintage cars and the Ford Mustang is my all time favorite. So here’s red…
…and white, and blue!
I would suggest these owners are quite proud of old glory!
A lot of people were enjoying this weekend’s First Friday gathering downtown, and we mingled a while too!
What would the holidays be without food? I don’t know…we’ve been blessed to always have an abundance of wonderful dishes and desserts. I briefly took in the festive 4th of July colors with admiration, but these were not on display very long!
A late evening approaching thunderstorm last week presented us with this awesome site which includes white and blue.
A pre-holiday sky!
Looking back 2 years as EM and EK were all decked out in the red, white, and blue as they enjoy (well EM seems to be enjoying) Emma Kennedy’s first July 4th!
O beautiful for spacious skies…

From our home to yours…we hope you are enjoying a wonderful July 4th and that you have a blessed week!

Butch had a 1967 when I met him! He wishes he still had it.
Beautiful photos, dear friend. Happy 4th!
Thank you, my friend!
Happy Birthday, America, and a big thank you to all who sacrificed so much for us! No country celebrates their independence as we do here in America. We have so much to be thankful for. Thank you for your all-American photos and a platform with which to express our pride and gratitude!
Thank you, Maria. Yes, we have so much to be thankful for. God bless America!
Good morning, Butch and Pam. Such gorgeous and happy sights of our beautiful land. May we all celebrate our freedoms, each other and all we truly have to be thankful for. Wishing you and your lovely family a most Happy Fourth and Many Blessings to all of you!
I hope you have had a wonderful day. Blessings to you and Michael!
Happy 4th! The 4th seems more special with each passing year; especially this year! All the pics are wonderful. We’ve missed the antique car gatherings but enjoyed our first one in over a year at a quaint court square recently but none were as dolled up as that VW bus! The throwback pics are gorgeous and the girls look so cute! They’ve really grown and now there’s Wyatt’s first 4th! Yay! That thunder cloud is amazing. Enjoy your day sweet friends. Hopefully you are getting a respite from the heat and humidity. It’s been wonderful here! Clara 🇺🇸❤️
Thank you Clara. We had a low of 53 in part of our county last night. I always love lower heat and humidity. I hope your day has been wonderful! ♥️🇺🇸💙
For the league of souls who established our Nation and those who have fought and those who died protecting our flag, we fill this day with honor and gratitude. It can bring out the best in us if we allow it to…..Just love your Fourth photos of America in all its glory of the day. May we always keep her free. The BBQ, hot dogs, watermelon and lemonade are set out and the sun is shining here, so on to the post worship celebration with Family and Friends. A most blessed Fourth, Pam and Butch and
Family.
Thank you for your heartfelt comments, Mary. The food sounds wonderful. Enjoy!
Happy Independence Day! Hope you have a great day filled with family, laughter, and some good food!
Thank you Roxanne!

I especially liked the first 2 photos and the one of the 2 little girls. The first one was just so appealing and the second one struck a nostalgic chord in me. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, Donna!
