“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
–From the Declaration of Independence
Happy Independence Day!

This blog reminds me of a Fourth of July fireworks display many years ago. We were hosting a man from Indonesia that worked with my husband. We took our young daughter, a blanket and found a place in the park to sit and get a good view. When dusk came, that first shot up in the sky was exciting when it burst into many different colors. I didn’t expect this usually dignified man to double over in laughter and shouts of delight. We laughed with him especially my daughter of about four. What fun to see a grown man experience such joy at seeing fireworks for the first time.
