"There are many flags in many lands,
There are flags of many hue,
But there is no flag however grand,
Like our own red, white and blue.

Say hurrah for our flag,
Our country's flag,
It's stripes and it's bright stars too.
But there is no flag however grand,
Like our own red, white and blue." Author unknown

Everyone that knows me, knows I'm very patriotic. I believe that we live in the greatest country on earth and I'm so very proud and humbled to be an American Citizen.

Happy Independence Day!!! God Bless the USA!

Let Freedom Ring!!

It's hot hot hot and we are living per southwest culture, work outside in the morning, take a siesta and then back outside when things cool off. And speaking of working outside. Don't tell our children but we are continuing to use the bucket in our tractor...

Whoo Hoo! We just finished putting together our new Chicken House! Tractor Supply has this on sale over the 4th of July weekend and we splurged.
