It’s America’s birthday and I’m celebrating. What I write today will be… anything I want–gibberish, a short story, guest articles on crazy topics. I have no idea. My son’s in Kuwait protecting America’s distant shores. My daughter’s in San Diego preparing her LPD for some future battle. I’m here, thanking both of them and every other service member who accepted the calling to protect our nation’s freedoms.
God be with all of you.

Ha-ha-ha! Working on more of them today, but not just Vine reviews. Need to get out and take some July 4th photos here in NYC, too.

Thanks, Nikki. Are you roasting over there? It’s almost chilly here in CA–I’m wearing long pants!
Thanks to your bf for his wonderful service. I hope he (you-all) have a wonderful 4th.

Thanks, Shari. Sean over in Kuwait has me worried, with Iran rattling their sabres. It’s hard being a mom of an adult child. They get to make all their own decisions.
