Independence Day - Our Freedom

The Sopchoppy parade - I remember when there were antique cars, vintage tractors, horses, local businesses (without the screaming boombox music); now it's mostly politics, no horses, one antique car, love the old tractors!

After spending the day enjoying the Sopchoppy parade, the park, its arts and crafts, with family, just about to our driveway we met a convoy of every law enforcement vehicle going who knows where.

Drive a little slower folks, it's ok to be fashionably late.

Look twice for pedestrians and motorcycles.

Take a moment longer to make sure you turned off the stove, be careful around that gas grill.

Everybody is somebody's loved one, you may not know the person(s) that you hear about on the news that died, but someone does.

Have a safe rest of your Independence Day.

Take a moment to think about the freedom we have.

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed — else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
