{ Happy 250th Birthday America ♥ }

To the country that took me in, gave me love and a home and continues to be one of the strongest, most powerful beautiful free nations in the world.

 

There are no words to describe the love I have for America.  Being Portuguese and having lived in other countries, I wish people would understand just how lucky and blessed they are to have been born in this beautiful land.  The opportunities, the freedom, the quality of life, it's not something we see very often in other countries.

 

The same God that brought the US through trials and tribulations 250 years ago, is still presently guiding and bringing us through the current adversities we face today.

 

Land of the free, home of the brave indeed! 

 

At 250 years old, the United States remains a tapestry woven from millions of diverse stories, struggles, and triumphs. Today is a day to celebrate the progress made, honor the generations that built the foundation, and look forward to the next chapter of the American dream. 

 

Happy 250th, America! 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Fourth of July!

We're planning to have a BBQ....just us.....some Bratwurst, Steak, Potato Salad, Beans, Corn and a Flag cake for dessert.

Later we'll watch the fireworks, they're not exactly allowed on base but the military does sometimes put on their own show OR we will just enjoy the fireworks being put out by people outside the base.

What are your plans for today?

EDIT: I just added a few recipes to the food blog, they're perfect for today's celebration, go on over and check out the 4th of July Cake, Sandra's Potato Salad and the Best Grilled Steak Marinade.
