Happy "belated" Independence Day to all my friends and family! Both of my karate guys were in the parade yesterday and as I was watching the four year old twins today, I was unable to join them. However, as you know, it's not so interesting if you aren't participating! Today is a little shorter post but I do want to share something near and dear to my heart at the end of the post . . . so please keep reading!
Today at Top Tip Tuesday we have a "Wedding/Anniversary" challenge that starts today that will be sponsored by both:

INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
I've been blessed with a lovely daughter that dated a courageous young man named Chris Oaks in High School.
Since graduating in 2009, Chris joined our armed forces in Afghanistan, and returned to us 2 days ago, in what looks to be a permanently paralyzed condition at the age of 20!
The "return home" event was covered by Channel 7 Action news, and the address location for donations to support the modifications to his families home and the video can be found HERE.
I know that this news is not new as it happens all too often, however, never so close to me. As much as we would appreciate any and all donations, I mainly wanted to show my support and gratitude to such a wonderful and truly beautiful young man that I am blessed to know personally. These are the men that keep us safe and free!
Thank you Chris and Welcome Home!
