Happy Fourth!!

Well tomorrow is the 4th of July and I wish you all a safe and happy day celebrating the birth of this great country. We have much to celebrate as always, and maybe a bit more with Heller going our way with SCOTUS

It is a mixed day around our house. . . we will go to the Hingham parade in the morning to have some fun and pay our respects to the troops and vets that march every year. It will also be my Dad’s third birthday since his passing. . . so we will be swinging by the cemetery on the way home from the parade to pay our respects there too.

Its funny how it has gotten easier to deal with over time as they all said it would, but in some ways it has not and I don’t think it ever will. I still miss him a lot, and boy do I miss having his advice as I fumble my way through life. Anyway, until we meet again Happy Birthday Dad. . . .

So as to not end on a down note we did end up setting up an very impromptu cook out for Saturday since no one had anything planned. Figured it was a good excuse to get together and see folks that we have not seen in way too long. It is amazing how time flies with all the things a family gets involved in. . .

So have a good 4th y’all and remember to take a moment and think about all those who paid the bill and continue to pay it so we could have this great country to grow up in, live in and raise our kids in.
