Happy 4th of July!!



Well, I have to say this forth was a first for us. We traveled to Colorado to see Jimpa ( Mya's name for my dad) g-ma Judi and uncles Jake and Jordan. We headed to the mountains, Woodland Park, near Colorado Springs to see my grandparents and aunts and uncles. What a great time had by all, although it was a short trip. I, for one, was looking forward to some cooler weather...and that's exactly what I got! It RAINED ALL DAY SATURDAY, a first for me... I don't remember a 4th of July it rained like that. But, we made the best of it! We BBQ'd under tarps and ate and drank and did some catching up with loved ones. Overall, it was fun and the spirit of the day was certainly not lost. Every year I take this holiday to feel grateful for what I have. More than Christmas, New Years or even THANKSgiving, for some reason I've always felt blessed to live where I live with the family and friends I have on 4th of July. Call me a patriot I guess. So, with this always on my mind and in my heart, it never really matters if it's rainy or sunny... it's always good to celebrate yet another 4th of July!
