" Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance." Psalms 33:12 KJV
Today in the U.S. we are celebrating our 246th year of the publication of our declaration of independence from Great Britain in 1776. We usually celebrate with family gatherings, and firework displays. Personally, we have no family near here, so it will be just the two of us, and we will watch firework displays on TV. Another way we did celebrate was to sing patriotic songs in church this week, and we listened to a wonderful rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic by one of our pianists. I always get teary eyed as soon as I hear the first few notes. Yes, I am thankful for my country.
Here is some 4th of July cards I have created either this year or in the past:
I think this image is from a local stamp store Mrs. O'Leary's aka Artful Illusions. She makes her own stamps. I purchased them as just pieces of rubber. |
The image is also from Mrs. O'Leary's aka Artful Illusions from years and years ago! |
I actually used this for an anniversary card for someone whose anniversary is on the 4th of July! |
This past week, I was invited to tea by someone I met on my trail. She served Indian tea, which I loved! I have to find out what it was. It was spicy and strong, just the way I love it! She served it with biscotti and a confetti Bundt cake, all delicious. There were three of us and we enjoyed hearing the birds sing and taking a tour of her gardens. It was a very enjoyable morning chatting and getting to know these ladies.
I hope you enjoyed a little 4th of July with me as well as tea in the lovely setting.
Thank you for stopping by. Happy T Day, (a little early).
