BBQ ON THE BEACH

Allie and I were setting up for our Going Bust photo shoot when some dear friends of ours invited us to their place for a weekend BBQ to celebrate the 4th of July.  We said yes and had a wonderful time.  Good food, good friends, great wine, and much laughter.  Allie wore the American Girl Outfit by PeachBlossom and I just love how the jeans hugged her hips.  I wore 1 Hundred's Lacey Tank in Pink.  It was perfect for the hot weather and just sheer enough to let the silhouette of my waist show.  We sat on the beach drinking and talking till the sun went down then we were treated to a fireworks display over the ocean.  As I sat there on the beach watching the lights in the night sky I thought about how the Colonies of America fought for and won freedom.  How brave men came together under the threat of death in an act of treason against the crown of England willing to loose everything just to be free.  I thought about all the men and woman who gave their life not only for America but in the aid of other peoples around the world.  I realized that no matter what anyone says about the United States of America, we still are a nation based on the principles we were founded on.  We are far from perfect but I believe that each and every day we grow as people and a nation.  I am proud to be an American.  I am proud of our service men and women.  I am proud of the men and women who stand up for what they believe in.  Even if sometimes I disagree.  Because here in America you have the right to disagree.  All people have the right to be heard.  So to a nation attacked on so many fronts from within and without.  To all Americans and to the United States of America I wish a late Happy Birthday America. 

Last year I posted a little bit of the Declaration of Independence and decided that again this year I would repost those words and provide the link.  I post these words for all of the people around the world striving for freedom from tyranny, may these words inspire you.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." - Declaration of Independence.

 "We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."  - Declaration of Independence.
