Thank you! To be truthful, though, I had a pretty laid-back, un-busy weekend. Still, time flies when you're having fun!
Love that GIF of the fireworks!!

Good Morning Made. One thing about working nights is that even on my days off, I wake up way too early. Oh well, like you it gives me an early morning edge on wishing all of you a Happy 4th.
Get in a nap and don't miss the day my friend.

Morning everyone and a happy 4th of July to everyone celebrating. It's a wet wet day here in Ireland, so basically summer, long day ahead so the coffee is already on in the office. Have a good one people.

Greetings Tis and thank you for your well wishes from across the pond. Coffee is on here as well. We were suppose to get some "liquid sunshine" last night, but looks like the good Lord held it off. We are holding a 4th of July block party at two houses in the neighborhood, so hopefully the rain predicted for this afternoon will also be delayed a few hours.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy Christmas in July on the Emerald Isle...

Good Morning to all the MMC community and to those of us within the borders of the United States of America... Happy 4th of July!
Today we remember (hopefully) what our founding fathers went through to bring us an Independent Nation and how we have progressed (and sometimes retreated) in that spirit. The American Spirit was born in adversity, forged out of conflict and refined over centuries of trials & tribulations. As many of us observe this country today we can be both saddened by some of the directions we have chosen (or have been chosen for us) and feel the pride of so many who have and continue to stand for the liberties we were founded on. Our own country, as a huge melting pot, has been abundantly blessed by the different cultures, ideals and patriotism displayed by all the various nationalities who have come to call the USA their home. I am reminded on this day, of one of the many statements within the Declaration of Independence...
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Many have since come to these shores based on those simple and yet so important principles. We have come far and still have a long way to go. Hopefully this did not sound like a soapbox. That is not my intention. This is one of those days that can both fill me with joy and also bring a tear, knowing an uncertain future lay ahead. I'll end this today with a few words of President Lincoln. Himself speaking about the future welfare of this country and what to beware of. Delivered on Jan 27th 1838...
"Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide."
Have a safe and memorable 4th of July from the great state of South Dakota...

Greetings Festive and thank you for your well wishes. I'm very pleased to hear that the move is over. I had to do it quite a few times in the military and honestly... I can never remember a smooth one. But the end was always welcome and the process of turning it from a new house to our home a joyful one. Knowing your positive attitude, I'm sure it will shape up in short order and your first Christmas there will be one full of happy memories.
Hope to see you more often now and welcome to Christmas in July...

Thank CGY. As always your words are always comforting and I agree that no move is ever going to easy!
The thought of our first Christmas here is so exciting! I look forward to sharing it with you all.

Good Morning/HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, Everybody.

Our Fourth of July numbers:
Days to the Season: 132
Days to Christmas Day: 174

TEN days.
The amount of time remaining until we are 2/3 of the way to Christmas Season 2017.
SINGLE DIGITS AS OF TOMORROW!!
(Holy Holly, Folks!)


A tad cooler yesterday, and it came with a light early evening rain.
Still pretty humid, but it is July, after all.
We start this holiday (appropriately) at 76 degrees here in central North Carolina.


OK, now!
Independence Day.
Pines Day open house moved back a day so Carl can cut loose with red, white, and blue frosted fired twinkies, Sousa march music, Fourth of July decor and some pretty darned incredible fireworks, the likes of which you won't likely see anywhere else, including one starburst rumored to be in the shape of a camel. (Oh, well. Why not?)
Hope to see you there this afternoon for a slam-bang celebration!


Have a Terrific Tuesday, and an Inspirational Independence Day, Everyone!

Happy 4th Crown!
 
Happy 4th of July MMC! We made it to another major holiday! And believe it or not this is the LAST holiday until the Bers. Let that sink in. Scary stuff I tell you. We will have our BBQ later today and then go see the fireworks in town. We've had a lot of fun with my brother being here. It's definitely busy/hectic but fun. And just is fun to think about the next time he comes will be about a week before Christmas. Have a great day!

WOW!! Can't miss that! I'll bring some hot dogs and popcorn to add to the party.
 
Beautiful weather here today ... just a leisurely do-what-we-want Fourth of July here. (Right back to work tomorrow, but trying to forget about that until around midnight!)
