Happy 5th of July, too.

We are now on day three of a 3-day weekend.  This means the rest of the week will be four days and by Thursday we will be more than ready for Friday to dawn!  We can dwell on memories of the 4th of July holiday to get us through the work week.

The flag pictured at the left flys over Fort Morgan, Alabama.  The Alabama Group  went there for their Fourth of July and I  snagged the flag from Suse's Facebook page.  I think it's an outstanding shot that sums up what the holiday is all about.

I rode with Elder Sister to Walmart on Saturday and she was telling me how she gave her horses some watermelon and their reactions to the  treat.  Bella - the one with the white on her face ate some and came up drooling, she thought it was so good.  Savanah at the other end of the fence took a bite and belled out her lips and showed her teeth, which seems to be the horsie equivalent of, "Eeee-yuck!!"  She did not like the taste at all.  At all! I missed the whole show but maybe there will  be an encore and we will catch the performance. 

Meanwhile, it has turned into a cloudy day and a fine one for reflecting on our blessings; like the ones we have that come from living in a country that affords us the freedom to worship, live and work without fearing the government will batter down the doors and take us away for speaking out against injustice.  We can lay our heads down at night, assured that we are  living in the best nation in the world.  We don't even have to wait until night to prove that blessing is true.  We can take a nap right now - this very minute!  I love it when a plan comes together, don't you?
