Happy Fourth Of July To ALL!!!!!





There is a story I'd like to share with you. When I was in high school, I was a complete choir geek. I loved it. Our concert choir went to Europe for a competition and spent almost three weeks there. Though I was privileged to see some of the most beautiful landscape and architecture in the world in Vienna, Austria, Switzerland, France and Germany, I missed my homeland. I missed the culture, the tastes, the sounds of HOME.
On our last night in Germany, in a small chapel, we performed "America, The Beautiful" for a German speaking audience. I don't know what happened, but by the time we were finished, most of us hardened teenagers were in tears and the audience was too. We were all longing for America, with all it's faults, insanity and frenetic energy. We wanted to go home.
That memory has never left me and when this day rolls around, I remember that feeling. There are times I'm frustrated with the American lifestyle. Yet, I don't want to live anywhere else.
