4th of July

4th of July

As you may know, the 4th of July is second only to Christmas for our family. My Mom created the traditions-going to the (we added the balloon launch this year) parade, BBQ, rest, then fireworks. I really miss her!! I am thankful for good traditions like the 4th. Family and friends, parades, BBQs, and fireworks-what could be better. We sure miss our Michigans though! How grateful I am for this great country and what freedoms we have here. All of this came at a cost and it is good to stop and contemplate the sacrifices of so many that have made our lives so good.

Trip to San Fran

Jeff and I went to San Francisco the last week of June and ate and ate! (I saw Courtney Cox at a restaurant we went to-of course the company was paying for the meal-how else could we eat at a restaurant that Courtney Cox would be at?!) It was very cold but we had a great time!
