Pre-4th celebrations!

Hi all! Hope you had a great weekend! I was celebrating the 4th of July early as I do just about every year. I LOVE the 4th of July so much that I guess I can't wait until the actual day to celebrate. I just had a thought that this holiday is one that you should celebrate everyday. I am proud to be an American! But, on the other hand, what makes the 4th so spectacular is that it does only happen once a year, and the fireworks are just that and more spectacular! Getting back to the pre-celebrations, I played a part in the orchestra for our annual patriotic services held the weekend before the actual holiday. We do this to honor and celebrate those who have served this country and are serving currently around the world. The song that I have had in my head since is Battle Hymn of the Republic. We ended each service with that hymn and confetti coming out of two pipes on either side of the stage (I being right by two of them). It is always good to see those men in uniform and the presentation of our American flag and say the pledge of allegiance.
Mosaic on Saturday was spent with Mure and I talking about our trip to Mexico and how we were stretched by God. We finished up by talking about our upcoming camping trip...oh and we had a couple 'newbies' come to our group which is good as we could have more people in the group. We went out to Wong Kings for dinner, which was pretty good.
Sunday afternoon I picked up Care and we went bowling for an hour. My work was having a bowlathon/fundraiser to raise money to send teens to leadership training. We both had a good time bowling, and then went out afterwards to a couple places and I also showed her where I work. It was good to spend time with her after not seeing each other for three weeks.
