America The Beautiful
Words by Katharine Lee Bates
Melody by samuel Ward
O Beautiful for Spacious Skies,
For Amber Waves of Grain,
For Purple Mountain Majesties
Above the Fruited Plain!
America! America!
God Shed His Grace on Thee
And Crown Thy Good with Brotherhood
From Sea to Shining Sea!
Happy Birthday America!
I love the Fourth of July it is one of my favorite holidays. I love my country and I love to celebrate the special day with a party of family and friends. This year the birthday celebration comes on Wednesday and it's not always possible for getting together mid week. So, we spent last weekend in Atlanta for an early Fourth of July celebration at my sister and brother-in-law's. Atlanta had a record high of 106 degrees but it didn't stop us from having a
great time. My sister and I went to a little workshop for diy party decorations for the Fourth. It was a lot of fun. Of course we had to have a southern favorite of BBQ Ribs.

I had some extra time while in Birmingham a few days ago and went to a decorating workshop at Pottery Barn. A designer gave tips and demonstrated how to set up an outdoor bar and Fourth of July tablescape. Gorgeous!
Let us not forget those serving our Country, past and present, that we may enjoy Freedom today!
May your Fourth of July be filled with love of family and friends and may you have a happy and a safe holiday celebration.
God Bless America!
