Happy 4th of July, 2023! I leave you with the last verse of the Star Spangled Banner.
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv’d us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto – “In God is our trust,”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.






Happy 4th of July! Take care, enjoy your day!
…you sure are the decorating queen. Have a safe and fun 4th.
