I've been doing a lot of studying about the American Revolution in the last year so this Independence Day celebration was a lot more meaningful to me. Unfortunately, I didn't feel well enough to attend a fireworks / civic celebration on the Fourth ... sigh ... but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I've concluded we simply cannot grasp what our freedom has cost us in the price of the blood of our forebears, and all the suffering and sacrifices they made for it through the generations since 1776. So I just appreciate it by reflecting as well as I can on history's accounts. =)
Happy for you all to have a digital camera!
Sorry you weren't feeling well--are you better today? Either my allergies are back big time or I'm getting a cold . . .
We went to the races last night and there were fireworks after. My husb. remarked to me how lucky we were, and then went on to say how we were free to GO to the races, worship at a church OF OUR CHOOSING, etc. And he's absolutely right, and unfortunately we take it for granted all too much.
