Yesterday wasn’t just your typical summer Saturday in the Lowcountry. It was July 4th.
Hope you enjoyed the day and relaxed and kept it safe with the fireworks.
Remembering what the fourth is all about.
Some history on John Hancock and the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Here are some of Chuckles thoughts.
…I’m so thankful that every year we are able to celebrate the sacrifice that was made to make this country great. Sure, there are things that are messed up. Sure there are things I don’t agree with. But for all the mistakes and trouble and problems this is still the “Land of the Free and the home of the Brave..
Even though yesterday was Independence Day, Sherry notes how much we depend on others.
…We depend on other drivers to travel with care.
Generally, we depend on teachers, firefighters, law enforcement officers. We depend on farmers, wholesalers, retailers.
We depend on friends and family to be there for us, in good times and in bad. We rely on doctors, nurses, hospital personnel; cooks and chefs in restaurants; employers and fellow employees.
We depend on architects to design and engineers to build safe buildings, bridges and roads. We rely on inspectors to look out for consumers. We depend on bus drivers, pilots, train conductors.
We trust and depend on counselors and religious leaders…
