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 Fourth of July…Y A Y & Song Lyric Sunday

Happy 4th of July

This is one of my favorite holiday’s !!! It’s summer, I love to BBQ on the grill, Fireworks are just the best…What’s not to love. Still missing the carnivals and summer concerts !!! Next year will be better I hope that we can get back to the summer festivals and concerts. I’m really missing those, at least I have the memories which will have to do for now. Jim’s pick for today’s Song Lyric Sunday is, “American Music <3 ” I remember a staple of our’s in summers past. They were of course the, “Ides of March” summer concerts at the festivals we use to go too. So much fun. The Ides are a Chicago staple, Jim Peterik who is the lead singer of the band is a native of Berwyn (a suburb of Chicago).

Summerfest, Milwaukee…Me and Jim Peterik <3

Because they were a local we always got seats right up front and Jim Peterik kind of got to know us. In fact at one of their concerts he came right down in the audience and kissed me during the song, “Searching.” I’ll never forget, it was the thrill of a lifetime 😉 .

My song for today is one of their biggest hits and he always waits til the end of the concert, i.e. the last song to play it…That would be, “Vehicle” of course !!!

He really is an amazing artist, performer, singer, writer, yadayadayada <3 An all around great guy. Makes you feel like your just one of his friends <3 I’ll be looking forward to seeing him and his band, the Ides performing again <3 …

Hope all of you are enjoying your summer and having the best 4th of July ever. Eat all the great food you can and celebrate this country. Because I’ve always said, “If your lucky enough to live in America, then you are lucky enough !!!”
