We haven't had much rain for a while, so the state of Texas is in a big DROUGHT. not normal for us. We are used to lots of humidity with rain! Since we are so dry, there was a not only a ban on popping fire works, but a ban for selling them as well. Needless to say it was a pretty quiet 4th after the sun went down. However, we still had a great time showing off our patriotism and enjoyed doing so at the church's annual breakfast of pancakes, a program and a bike parade! The kids got to ride their non-motorized bikes, wagons, scooters, etc. that they (or their parents) decorated. We got to see lots of friends and we realized once again how blessed we are for the many freedoms we enjoy because of the sacrifice of others. We are blessed beyond measure for many reasons but especially to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave!
