End of a Three 3 Day Binge

Sandi & I ended our three day 4th of July weekend with more trail bike riding and a final neighborhood "pool crash".

We started our 14 mile ride on Macomb Orchard Trail at this point ... yes a framed piece of art! 

The trail is an old rail road track that has been asphalt and mile marked for bikes, walkers, or rollerblading.  Beautiful scenic route.  The grade is pretty level and we found it waaaaay easier than yesterdays ride.

  
Our pool of choice was #1, the first pool we crashed Saturday night.  Thanks for going up north again neighbor!

This had to be in the top of best times ever.  Perfect weather all weekend, time spent with both of my sisters, cocktails, laughs, and fun adventures.

Thanks Sandi & Margie, I love you goofy chicks!

Ev'ry heart beats true

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Proud to Be An American

Happy 4th of July. Although I have no picnic to attend, or fireworks to shoot off, or anything red, white and blue to wear, I celebrate today, because I am fortunate to be an American.

Caitlin and I have lazily enjoyed sleeping in then watched "Dream Girls". She trimmed my hair and we ate lunch while watching a stupid reality show. Quinn is excited we are home, and Bryan must be sleeping in because he hasn't answered his phone. *Maybe he partied late last night, or is parting through out today* I will call him tonight.

Freedom, to do nothing, in this household, on our day off, is a luxury many in other countries won't have today ... or even tomorrow. Wars, politics, hatred, famine, disease, power, unnecessary death, are the evils living in our world, but freedom, by the Grace of God, may she always win.
