Welcome to July!

This is my third-favorite month. (December and May take the first two spots.) I just love celebrating the 4th of July. It's such a wonderful thing to sit back and think about how far this country has come from its beginning. We have such a colorful past. Sometimes we were the underdog while at others, we have been the superpower. We have done reprehensible things and yet fought against them for others as well. We are rich and poor at the same time...Yes, America is a land to cherish, but it is also a land to improve. I'm doing my best to teach my kids to take care of the nation by caring for those within it and by cleaning up (aka recycling). What are you doing?
