This Week...Lots of Rain

Our morning walks were limited this week because of the rain we’ve had. And, it looks like we’re in for more.

Patriotism is supporting your country all of the time, and your government when it deserves it.    Mark Twain

 

 

We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the rain will leave us in time to celebrate our Nation’s Independence.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. Ronald Reagan

 

 

This Sunday I have a rainbow tea party to attend, hosted by my great-niece, JK (Julia Katherine). This is her second tea party this year, and from what I understand, there will be at least one more.  Not bad for a 4 ½ year old.

We see one young man most mornings on our walks who doesn’t smile or say hello to anyone. As has become my tradition, I am going to try to get him to at least lookup and smile when someone says “Good morning” to him.

We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it. William Faulkner

He reminds me of the young man we used to see at Green Cay. After a few months, he actually said “Good morning” to me first!

And here’s a quote just for fun…

Let’s not forget why we celebrate 4th of July, it is the day Will Smith saved us from the aliens. Unknown

Have a wonderful weekend!

Good morning, Kathy - let us know how your "smile" challenge progresses.  Stay dry.  Have an enjoyable day/weekend/end of June/always.

Hello Kathy,  Tea party's are fun for a 4 year old.  Get that guy to come out of his shell and say good morning back.

Haha, I really enjoyed the last quote, it made me laugh. And, I'm confident you will get a smile, or nod, or something from the young man.
