Happy Fourth my friends! About the featured image, I took this photo while visiting my daughter and son in law last year. They live in this quaint neighborhood in Kyle, Texas and every fourth of July they hold a fun parade for all the neighbors to participate! Good memories from last year! I know we are living in some unusual times here in America. It pains me that our country is suffering. I love America! I love the diversity of our country! Even though we are made up of different cultures, different beliefs. I think we are similar in many ways. We all want to love and to be loved, provide for our families, have a place we can call home, a safe place. Today, I would like to share my little world with you. Do you see any similarities?
