Freedom From Want

The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday! I love red, white, and blue. I enjoy the warm weather and the crackle of fireworks. It is such a great time to think about the freedoms I have. There is nothing better than being covered in bug spray, lying under a blanket, cuddling people you love, and watching an amazing firework display. I can't help but appreciate our country. This year, we visited our friends, the Rencher's, in Helena. It's our second year there and we're hoping (don't know if they are) to make it tradition. We adore them and their cabin on the lake! We went tubing, ate lots of food, went water skiing, ate more food, sunbathed on the beach, ate more and more food, and built sand castles. Truly a blessed event--I can say that the Rice's are "free from want" of love, of friends, of family....and of caloric intake.
