Family, Fourth and FREEDOM!

Site of World Trade center attack!

Here it is July 4th again, and as I grow older I realize that our Freedom and Liberty are not as secure as I imagined as a child.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.  ~Thomas Paine

 I like to take some time and consider the cost of the Freedom I enjoy today and wonder if I am doing all I can to ensure Freedom tomorrow.
My brother and family are coming into town for a small reunion of brothers and cousins. I hope you all are healthy and free!

Find your purpose and pursue it with all your HEART!

I will be posting pictures of the food and fun, pool and pups, laughing and listening.
