Our American celebration

Our family celebrated the great blessings of our American heritage quietly at home, with

• a lovely Independence Day bouquet,
• some "new" thrifted festive clothes (my red tee proclaimed "Freedom"!),
• hamburgers, hot dogs, and sweet, ripe watermelon,
• quiet hours assembling a patriotic puzzle (finished on the 5th!), and
• televised concerts and fireworks.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will bless the LORD, . . .

Psalm 16:6 -7a

Where liberty dwells

Now the Lord is that Spirit:

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

II Corinthians 3:17
