4th of July in Hawaii 2009

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!

175 Days till Christmas (July 2, 2012)

That crazy time of year is over halfway here.
Time to prepare for lots of holiday cheer.

On this July 4th
Enjoy some fireworks and grilling,
And get ready, cause soon you'll be chilling,

May 2010-awaiting husband's return from deployment (I'm not in the pic)

By the fireside, so snug and warm,
Sipping on a hot cup of homemade cocoa.
Dreaming of presents under the tree,
Listening to carolers as they sing,
"Deck the Halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la."
Buying the presents,
Wrapping them up,
Making Bows,
And Tying them up.
Finding a tree, decorating it neatly,
And standing in awe as it glows deeply.
So, take it easy,
This 4th of July,

Christmas in Monterey, CA 2010

And be thankful that Christmas is close by.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE!
THANKYOU ALL WHO SERVE, HAVE SERVED, and THOSE WHO ARE THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THOSE SERVING IN AMERICA'S ARMED FORCES!
Happy 4th of July and God Bless you and keep you safe.
