Just a quick note to say happy Independence Day!
Have a great one!
How do you celebrate our nation’s birthday?

This week’s Photo Friday is all about being out and about, and since it’s Independence Day here in the good ol’ U.S. of A., I can’t think of a better place to be than out and about.
I started the day off out and about at our old house, prepping for the open house this weekend. That was followed up by a trip to the park, which is where the bulk of my hometown’s Fourth of July festivities take place:
Today is the Fourth of July. Independence Day. America’s birthday. And on this day, I’ve got something to share with you.
All gave some. Some gave all. Some stood through for the red, white and blue, and some had to fall. And if you ever think of me, think of all your liberties and recall some gave all.

The lyrics in the caption are from the Billy Ray Cyrus song, “Some Gave All.” I’ve always loved that song and on a day like today, when we honor those who fought and died for our independence, I find those words especially fitting.
