Friendship, Flag and Freedom

Friends that drove a LONG way to be with our son at his graduation. It's always nice to have family at a special event like this - but I think it's even more special to have your friends.

Three quotes for today - One on Friendship, One on our Flag, and One on our Freedom.

Happy 4th of July!

Ah, how good it feels! The hand of an old friend. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Ev'ry heart beats true

'neath the Red, White and Blue,

~George M. Cohan

And I'm proud to be an American,

where at least I know I'm free.

And I won't forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.

~Lee Greenwood

Scatter Seeds of Kindness

Scatter seeds of kindness everywhere you go; Scatter bits of courtesy-watch them grow and grow. Gather buds of friendship, keep them till full-blown; You will find more happiness than you have ever known.

Dear Friends,
My mother is doing better and has stabilized. We have had her transferred to a Nursing/Rehabilitation Center closer to my father where he can visit her daily.
She still has a long road to recovery but hopefully with Physical Therapy she will be able to return to her home at some point.
I appreciate all of your prayers and positive thoughts! I hope to be visiting you soon!

For those of you not familiar with Baltimore..... It is in the state of Maryland.... on the East Coast of the United States
