COUNTRY RAMBLIN'Sby Tamara Hillman July 2009
Steve (my hubby) caught a plane south about four hours later, and left me stranded in Washington wondering what he'd face when he arrived at our home in Arizona........sick to my stomach the whole time, I might add because we have worked sooooooooo hard remodeling that house for a year and a half with our own blood, sweat, and tears (not to mention the expense!) That night he called to say the kitchen was destroyed and the hardwood in the game room that is attached has to all be replaced. Woe is me! Steve is still down there getting all the insurance and contractors lined up, and having them tear out all the hardwood and kitchen........Guess if anything good comes from all this mess, it's that I get a NEW kitchen. We were waiting until we sold the house here in Washington (that hit the market slump three years ago and remains unsold) to remodel the 30 year old kitchen that was just now ruined... The Lord moves in mysterious ways, so I’ll count my blessings instead of cry over spilt milk… Another positive coming out of this negative event is that I got to hold my second gr. grandchild on June 24th just one hour after her birth. Of course, that was a thrill.....Her name is Natalia Dawn, (where do these kids come up with such names????) Anyway, I'm hangin' in there at my son and daughter-in-law's house. We are enjoying an extended visit in spite of the circumstances, (I hope I’m speaking for them too!!!) Enough about me…… I want to wish each and every one of you a happy 4th of July, and say, “Don’t forget what we are celebrating when the firecrackers go off with a boom and light up a troubled sky over America!” |

“LET FREEDOM RING”
Let Freedom Ring from rooftops, Who fought and gave his future
“I remember the 4th”Oh for the days of big parades, Back in the time when we were young, Remembering memories I have kept As people lined our streets back then Thru’ pain and loss, and fight—we gained Yes, some traditions have gone astray, Remembering each new 4th of July, Tamara Hillman
