Happy Fourth of July!

I don't know if it's as hot where you are as it is here, but it is HOT in Baton Rouge. We've been having record-breaking temps every day. We finally got our back patio area done. Concrete is poured, ceiling fans are up. Big thanks to Fred for getting all of this done. We've been blessed to be able to do this project. It gives us a lot more living area. Fred's been in New Orleans most of the week taking a class. As of this afternoon, he's done with school until August. Yay! We plan to enjoy the holiday weekend just relaxing and visiting with some friends. I want to take this opportunity to say how grateful I am to be an American and to enjoy the freedoms of our great nation. Special thanks to our friends who serve (and have served) this country. We appreciate all you (and your families) do!
