It's another world all together

To romance

By: George Gordon Byron

Parent of golden dreams, Romance!
Auspicious Queen of childish joys,
Who lead'st along, in airy dance,
Thy votive train of girls and boys;
At length, in spells no longer bound,
I break the fetters of my youth;
No more I tread thy mystic round,
But leave thy realms for those of Truth.

Mountain moments

This cute little owl lives in a tree outside our cabin living room window! We've named him Scruffy. :)

AMERICA DAY THUS FAR:

• Apple cinnamon pancakes
• Jump started a car in our church parking lot.
• Wore an American flag shirt for 20 minutes.
• Finger-licking-yummy barbeque with friends.
• Sparkler photo shoot
• Considered celebrating our country by watching Abraham Lincoln slay vampires. 
• Canceled this idea. 
• Plans made with brothers to watch Mel Gibson show the British who's boss.

It was a terrific July day if I do say so! I hope you are also celebrating in your own way wherever you are! And by the way, if you have a chance to switch on NBC and watch the fireworks display that's happening in Manhattan, you won't be disappointed (: 

Twiddling my thumbs

Just waiting for the little bro to show up...
