HAPPY 4TH OF JULY WEEK-END....

May we NEVER FORGET where our country would be without our faith in God. That is why America IS and will ALWAYS BE the land of the free, deep rooted in love, of God and Country. May we NEVER stop saying "In God We Trust". Happy 4th of July week-end to everyone!!!!

Grammy said...: Dear Clara,
Happy 4th to you as well! My husband and I, both being of the time when it was understood that patriotism was something that everyone felt, love our country dearly. All my brothers served in the U.S. Army during their lifetimes. I can never see a parade or see Old Glory passing by without getting choked up, and shedding a few tears. Thanks for the reminder.
Regards to you and yours,

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
