We are packing up the car getting ready to make our annual July 4th trip to our lake cabin. We will celebrate the long weekend as we always do: sipping steaming coffee on the pier in the early mornings, taking long, leisurely boat rides in the afternoons (and/or playing in the frigid water)...and, as we dance around the campfire every evening, twirling our sparklers and singing 'God Bless America', we will think about our servicemen and women who have made such extraordinary sacrifices so that we might have blissful weekends such as this.
Happy Independence Day, everyone!
