Let Freedom Ring ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ


"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!!

Our ranch is indeed small per Texas standards, (only about 160 acres) but it's the perfect size for two retired...
