Independence Weekend...

It is time again, July 4th... 229 years earlier our ancestors declared their independence when in the course of human events, it became necessary for the thirteen colonies to dissolve the political bands which connected them with another -- to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind -- to declare their independence. That takes us to the time, in 1776, when the Continental Congress met -- drew up, signed a unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America for the purpose of declaring their causes for separation from the system of government of King George III of Great Britain.

From this Independence weekend to a Classic Alva High Goldbug Reunion in NW Oklahoma -- to Kirkbride apartments near downtown Alva in the early days -- to connecting with some of the "Old Boys" of Kemper Military Academy of Booneville, Missouri. That is where our memories will be jogged this weekend in NW Oklahoma.

AND... wouldn't you know it! When we come back to NW Oklahoma it gets hot and muggy. BUT... just before we head back to SW Colorado along comes a bit of coolness and much needed rain around the end of June and the first of July. You don't suppose someone up there is trying to tell me something, do you?!

Someone mentioned to me the other day, "You should come back more often and leave just as quickly!"

Anyway... Have a Happy & Safe 3rd & 4th of July! See you all next weekend!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
