Fly your flag, drink a toast to liberty and resolve to fight the good fight against our would-be tyrants! In short, have an uproarious 4th; that, alone, is one in the eye for our socialist brethren who, like the devil, cannot bear the laughter of free spirits.
Best of all, your cookout this year will cost Sixteen cents less than it did last year!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fourth of July! Mr. H and I are celebrating in grand style since we're in Ohio for the summer, spending time with the family. We had an outbreak of great-grandbabies over the past year, so now there are six, ranging in age from six, four, three, eight months, six months, and three days. We are blessed to be able to be with family, and to live in the land of freedom.
ReplyDeleteGod sure blessed y'all! Enjoy the passel! Happy Independence Day!
DeleteSure glad you're away from the hurricane. Hope your Florida home will be okay.
Steve: Yes, that's right. I can bank that extra 16 cents.
ReplyDeleteRebecca: Sounds like your family is growing into quite a multitude! Maybe y'all ought to consider filing for statehood.
Paco, that 16 cents could get you...could get you.... I'll get back to you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day everyone!
ReplyDeleteCheck out Lee Greenwood's new rendition of "God Bless The USA" on YouTube. It's amazing!
Happy Independence Day, all!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th, everyone!
ReplyDeleteDeborah's mention of God Bless the USA made me think of this classic from Red Skelton.
Red's indeed patriotic classic should bring tears, and yearning for those days. It's wonderful.
DeleteHappy Fourth of July, and don't spend that extra sixteen cents all at once!
ReplyDeleteA (subscriber only, pay-in-advance) website, the Precision Actuarial Cash Observer, believes that the cost of a cookout must include the cost of the commute to obtain the fixins for the cookout, i.e. journey to the food mart & the propane supplier.
ReplyDeleteThe conclusion: The extra Sixteen cents will get you to the end of your suburban residential street - after that you're in the red. Deep red.
I spent my sixteen to buy a single serve mustard packet for the hot dog.
DeleteHa! I suspected it was all smoke and mirrors!
ReplyDeleteA local hotel/spa/bistro summed Independence Day festivities by putting up this sign on their board yesterday:
ReplyDeleteNOTHING SAYS LET'S CELEBRATE AMERICA LIKE DRINKING BEER AND PLAYING WITH EXPLOSIVES
Pretty much sums it up.
