Celebrating American's Birthday

[Little Blue]

Well, JULY 4th this Sunday.
How are you going to Celebrate?

America means many different things to many different people. Welcome to the USA.

We have all the family and some friends together for a large picnic type cookout.

Enjoy Your 4th and be Safe. ........

This is just one of several celebratory days we hunker down, stay off the roads and try to avoid getting shot or having our house catch on fire from illegal fireworks.

There's plenty of other opportunities to gather with family and friends where doing so doesn't contribute to the craziness.

Happy Birthday America. WE are proud to be American's.

We are going to have a get together with my brother and spouse. First since COVID came our way. Hold the fireworks.

Which birthday is it; how many candles? And who is making the cake?

Can't celebrate a birthday without knowing those things...

........Hugh Cake Baker needed ASAP.

2021- 1776 = 245

Need cake to handle 245 candles. This will help you with the size of cake Necessary.

Thank You in advance.
PS: I will have the local Fire Department on Standby. ...

July 4th was my Dad's birthday....He passed two years ago. I just keep it low.

[Little Blue]

So sorry for your loss of your Father. I hope you can remember the good times and focus on them. ....

Since it is Sunday, I'll be in Church giving thanks for this country. In the afternoon I'll be up at my daughter's house with whoever of the rest of the kids/grandkids show up for an impromptu get together.

Happy 4th of July everybody.

.......... Well, today is Our Nation's Birthday.......... 245 years.

I pray that everyone will give 'God the Glory'. Because without God you have nothing.

This is what I believe and pray that you will be able to know Him too.

Have a Blessed Day. ......

Cooking under the shelter of my shop. Some of the extended family coming over. Got a few fireworks and plenty of food. Got rain in the forecast and probably have to stay inside, but got a large shop and plenty of shelters.

Utah,

Don't read too much into this, but is that juxtaposition.

Do you ever read some of those comments on youtube? They never bring the hammer down.

I hope everyone had a Happy 4th.

[UtahPete]

Utah, don't read too much into this, but is that juxtaposition?

I dunno....it was the safest thing I could think to say at the time!

Drove Hwy 244 by Mt. Rushmore today, lots of traffic and lots of American flags. It was nice to see that there are some people left that don’t hate this country and that there is some patriotism still to be found.

I don't think we are going to suffer a shortage of 'patriotism' anytime soon. It doesn't take much effort to show patriotism.. With few exceptions, EVERY American will declare themselves as 'patriotic', I think.

Why do YOU think patriotism is an endangered sentiment? What is your measure of another person's patriotism?

Speaking as a moderator:

Let's not get into political discussions. Discussion of patriotism or the lack there of will in most cases take us right down that road.

I had great time with my family. The food was awesome. The fireworks were great but to loud for the old man.

On to next year 2022.
