Happy Independence Day!

I hope you all enjoy your Independence Day. I am patiently waiting for the rain to stop and the sun to peak through. If the weather will cooperate I plan to do a little bit of work on the deck, take the dogs to the river for a swim, throw some steaks on the grill and simply take some time to appreciate this great country that allows me to spend the day as I choose. God bless America and the men and women of our great military who sacrifice so much in the name of freedom. To those dedicated soldiers who today find themselves on the soil belonging to those who seek to destroy all that is precious to America, know that my thoughts are with you and your families and I pray for your return home. My hope is that it is a safe journey and that it is soon. God bless.
