Well I guess this is just for Americans, but Happy 4th of July!! Hope you guys have fun Here's my 4th of July quote: "America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You've got to want it bad, because it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say, "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil who is standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the 'land of the free'? Then the symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Now show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then you can stand up and sing about the 'land of the free.'"

I don't remember the 4th being in any BSC books, which is odd. Of course I could def be forgetting Oh and I have no clue where I got that from... I'll figure it out and let you know!

Happy Independence Day all Americans! Enjoy the fireworks and your celebrations if you live in America. If you live elsewhere in the world, Happy 4th of July and enjoy the day, too ;D I'm thankful God has given me the freedoms in this country that he has - especially the freedom to be proud of my president, troops who fight for independence, and my flag, and the right to worship Him and voice my opinions, too. (I promise not to debate politics on here and accept the fact that I am probably the only right wing conservative on this board ;D) The 4th is celebrated in Dawn and Too Many Sitters - cute scene of the Barretts-Dewitts at the fireworks/carnival thing . Also mentioned briefly in Karen's Big Top (just happened to read it this morning ;D) and probably in some other LS books.

We're about to grill out and have watermelon and then watch fireworks later. I hope the rest of you are having a great 4th.

My 4th was pretty lousy--I had to work and it was raining all day. Hope everyone else had a better time!

I mostly just tried to catch up on my to-do list and worked on stuff around the house so didn't have that great of day, either. And to make matters worse, my family and I have all had some kind of crummy bug (nothing terrible but just feel generally lousy) the last few days (which is why things have piled up) so didn't feel great, either. Glad I'm not alone but sorry everyone else didn't have a better day. Maybe there is hope, though, that Gracie had fun at her cookout ;D I did read a few good BSC books, though. That always makes the day better ;D
