Happy 4th of July

I love this country…I thank God everyday for allowing me to live in this Shining Star on the hill, The United States of America !!! Freedom is not free and so many have given their lives to give us this great gift of living in America.

I truly pray for all those who spread the negativity about America and try to change it to communism…I thank God for the bullet missing and giving us President Trump who truly loves this country. I know people who have escaped communism, and they know just how blessed they are to have made it to America…The question everyone needs to ask themselves is, ” Why does everyone want to live here? ” hmmmm… I see on the news every night people risking everything, including their life, to get to America.

Last night I watch President Trump’s speech where he said this country will never be a communist country….Thank you for protecting us from that. School’s really need to teach the ACCURATE History about the hero’s who made America the greatest place on earth.

Either you love America or you don’t. Like the saying goes, “Love it or guess what you can leave.” There is no other place that is greater than America !!!! America is not perfect, but it’s pretty close…

Freedom of Speech, Freedom to worship how I choose. LIFE, LIBERTY AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS…. Freedom is not free, we have to defend it with everything we have. Celebrate today and never take it for granted. Our Freedoms want to be taken away by people who hate us. It’s really is only a generation away and to me that is frightening…

H A P P Y 4TH !!!! Let’s get the party started for the next 250 years….

Happy 4th of July America celebrates 250 years of F R E E D O M

What a great country to live in…The best in the world !!! I love this holiday because of the greatness we have been afforded. I’m reminded of this when ever something w/my health goes south. This time it has been my knee. Need a little bit of music…

I’m not a huge soccer fan but I have been loving all the love that the soccer player’s from around the world have been giving to this amazing country. For all who do not love this country, my advice to you is leave there’s so many other place you can live. Maybe then you’ll understand what freedom really means. It’s too bad there are people who don’t understand what freedom and prosperity really looks like…

If you have followed my blog, you’ll remember I fell and broke my arm back in 2023. At the same time I also messed up the knee, but I said let’s just focus on the are for right now. I could walk and that was enough for me.

Probably starting last year around the holidays it started giving me trouble. I went back to the Ortho Dr. that took care of the arm and he’s been treating me. The 1st Dr. our GP, Xrayed it and told me to take to Tylenol…Sure that’s going to fix it. Needless to day, it would not. So I had my daughter the nurse take me to my Ortho Dr. He really did take care of it. After looking at the Xray he walked in the room and said, “I hate to use the term, “Bad” but this is bad. Bone on bone and then he said, “If you were my mom (Which I loved to hear b/c I knew he would be as kind and gentle as he could) I am going to start out with the least I would do which translated into a steroid shop.

My first thought was OMG, that’s terrible b/c I’ve had that before and it was pretty painful, but whatever it was either that or give up walking. So he gave me the shot and it was not so bad. Actually it was pretty easy and I said, “OMG I love you” and I hugged him and it was good. Of course he said this is not a permanent fix, it’s just the 1st and eventually I’m going to have to do surgery. Fun … When this wears off, come back, b/c then I can do another shot w/gel that will help w/the bone on bone.

So last week I could tell I needed another injection. Again a bit nervous about the pain it could inflict, and again I brought my nurse daughter. We were just talking about nothing so I could get through this and next thing I know he said were done. And this was 2 injections. Again I said, “I love you and hugged him!!! ”

Also have been at our dentist and he’d been doing an implant, and I’ve decided this getting old is like being a raggedy Ann doll, but that’s why I love living I’m America. We do have a pretty good health system. Be safe out there and Happy 4th. I’m having a pretty great holiday. Treated myself to a mani/pedi and a facial so I’m feeling pretty fresh…Again, Happy 4th !!!

So I’ll end with how blessed I am. I’m grateful for my life, it’s pretty perfect and I’m so thankful to live in the most amazing country !!!! Blessing’s
