FIREWORKS IN A BIRDIE BLOCK!!

I finished the birdie block for July. I was so excited when it came out that I just could not help myself.

Happy 4th of July to all of you!!


Like most of you, I have a great love for my country. I love seeing the American Flag wave in the blue sky. I often wonder where this great love came from. Having a father who served in the military probably was a major role. I like to think my husband and I instilled in our sons a great love for our country as well. As you know, we have two serving and I am proud to say that the other sons feel a great pride in our country as well.

I know my Canadian friends feel the same way about their country. I have been to Canada and I will say that I have never been to a cleaner country. It is very beautiful as well.

So to my Canadian friends, Happy Canada Day...and to us Americans.....have a wonderful 4th of July. May God continue to Bless America....!!!



If you look on my sidebar, both my sisters are having giveaway......send some love their way by visiting and commenting on their post.

    Growing up military has a lot to do with Larry's and my love of America. I appreciate our many freedoms. Your fireworks are such a splash of color on this block!
