Happy 4th of July

American flag with fireworks over festive backyard pond and people by bonfire

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

American flag with fireworks over festive backyard pond and people by bonfire

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…

https://youtu.be/-KoXt9pZLGM?si=89wwfmwvoAXFofpO

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 !!!

Happy 4th of July

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

It’s Election Day

Just in case anyone may have forgotten what day it is 😉 … I’m going to start out by saying, (so you don’t have to waste your time reading this post) I’m going out to vote for President Trump. Of course I’m going to play this amazing song that he plays at all of his rally’s. It’s remastered with our awesome military who protects our freedom’s at home and abroad…

There are many reason’s I am voting for this man. The main one’s are he loves America and wants the best for this country. He is a strong leader and for God’s sake he took a bullet for us. I’ll save that for another post but we all know who did that I’m pretty sure. They’ve tried to jail him, take all his money away and even tried to take his life. OMG are you freaking kidding me.

Just a quick reminder too. The husband, even amidst all the things that life threw at us, has been preparing us for the day of being on a fixed income. We are not financially set, (i.e. he’s still working) but it’s just us now and we’re doing pretty good. I feel sorry for all who are just trying to live, raise a family, buy a home. If Trump wins, then you’ll be fine. He will get our country back on track. I have no idea if it goes the other way. I just remember the gas lines, hostages in Iran, blah, blah, blah. I’ve had to live through many crappy administrations. It’s called two roads, Easy or Hard. Voting does have consequences people so I hope you make the right choice.

I ask myself, “Why does he want this job???” He doesn’t need power or money or all of the brain damage that this job has. They have been so awful to this man, yet he power’s through all of it b/c he loves America. That’s why he’s getting my vote. G O T R U M P… I just hope that he is the leader God wants to carry on his plan for this once, “Shining City on the Hill. “

Happy Birthday Husband/Go Trump

This man, this billionaire put on a McDonald’s apron and did the same job I had for my 1st job, a fry cook. He truly is the greatest politician, a loving father and really just the B E S T president I’ve seen in my lifetime…Win or lose, he has definitely made his mark on this Country. I’m voting today b/c it matters. Men have died to protect this freedom so I will not disrespect this country by not exercising this right and freedom. Another song associated with his campaign, which is an American Staple.

My 1st Job
America Needs You and We Love You !!!

I think he’ll win b/c God spared his life for a reason. God always gets the last word. I just hope God’s plan spared him to be president to save this great country. If not, always remember that, “America, the Shining City on the Hill ” is greater and stronger than any person or political party. She is God’s gift to this world. G O T R U M P !!!!

God alway’s get the last word…America is God’s Country no matter what !!!

Good Song Lyric Sunday Morning

I’m up and ready to start this Sunday. I must be honest, I’m just not really feeling it today. It was easy to get a song for today’s prompt. I really love this guy. Me and the husband saw Toby Keith in Las Vegas back in the day. He put on a really great show.

The today’s prompt is, “Army, Soldier, War” for SLS comes from Mr. Jim.

Lyrics

I’m just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother
Everything to everyone
Up and at ’em bright and early
I’m all business in my suit
Yeah, I’m dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots

I don’t do it for the money
There’s bills that I can’t pay
I don’t do it for the glory
I just do it anyway
Providing for our future’s my responsibility
Yeah, I’m real good under pressure
Being all that I can be

And I can’t call in sick on Mondays
When the weekends been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays
And sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready
When the wolf growls at the door
Hey, I’m solid, hey I’m steady
Hey I’m true down to the core

And I will always do my duty
No matter what the price
I’ve counted up the cost
I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I don’t want to die for you
But if dyin’s asked of me
I’ll bear that cross with honor
‘Cause freedom don’t come free

I’m an American soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters
I will proudly take a stand
When liberty’s in jeopardy
I will always do what’s right
I’m out here on the front lines
sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I’m an American soldier

yeah, an American soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters
I will proudly take a stand
When liberty’s in jeopardy
I will always do what’s right
I’m out here on the front lines
so sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I’m an American

an American
an American soldier

Hey I didn’t write this, Merrium/Webster had it on their website 😉 …

And that’s all I’m going to say concerning politics b/c I really don’t care about politics…It’s not my happy place ;} imagine my surprise to realize that I have been married to a Poli/Sci i.e. Political Science, graduate of Northwestern i.e. again, “The Harvard of the Midwest…Who knew…I know it’s not making much sense, but that’s the take away from Friday’s Folly 😉 .

I’ll finish with what is my Happy Place…Planning, Y A Y !!! I got the new Planner Kit from yes, “The Planner Society.” I have been planning forever and I have so many planner supplies, you just can’t even believe how much I have, any whooo back to what I was blogging about… My Planner, aka Mz.
