FREEDOM DOESN'T GIVE US THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT WE PLEASE, BUT TO DO WHAT PLEASES GOD!

That Fateful Fourth, by Roger Robicheau

Our will was strong, our want was great

Let freedom reign, what better fate

We journeyed long from Plymouth Rock

The time was clear to end all talk

That fateful fourth our courage showed

Americans - and how we glowed

We won the right to be self known

Our Independence, clearly shown
The test of time has stood us tall

Through bravest hearts, some forced to fall

We’ll always cherish those we’ve lost,

Their gift to us, their total cost
Today we face another foe

And stand together, all do know

Please often pray to God above
for the country we all love.

The Founding Fathers left one legacy not celebrated on Independence Day but which affects us all. It's the national debt.
The country first got into debt to help pay for the Revolutionary War. Growing ever since, the debt stands today at a staggering $11.4 trillion - equivalent to about $37,000 for each and every American. And it's expanding by over $1 trillion a year

Sunrise to Sunset in Florida

Jake and Baby, the sun rises and sets in them, but I think you know that.

Sunrise over the Manatee River, Bradenton Florida

Sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean, Ormond Beach, Florida

Sunrise on the way to work, Bradenton FL, traffic signal made me do it

Take a walk on Ormond Beach at sunrise, what more could you ask for?

Bradenton Beach Volley Ball net at sunset.

Life Guards not to be found at sunset, but the tower is always there.

SPECIAL NOTE: This photographer prefers Sunrise over Sunset, Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man (photographer) healthy, weathy and wise.

My Sink Overfloweth

I said in the previous Post, "I would rather clean up than cook!" I know not to make rash statements. Thus, the story of The Sink and The Cleanup! Or another title for these pictures could be Tools Of My Trade.

Last night I cooked (yes, I cooked) and when I let the water out of the sink after washing the dishes (note: I have never owned a dishwasher), the water would NOT leave the sink. ABOVE photo, is how I washed dishes this morning using Make Do pot wash pan.

I plunged until my face was red, Bob plunged until his was red and I demanded he stop and let me call a plumber. I called, he will be here Thursday, 2 days of not using the sink, I told him we will eat out. NOT!

While The Man plunged, the nasty water came up and out and down the white cabinets, he plunged so hard (the sink was actually moving) the trap loosened and the nasty water poured into ALL this that lives under the sink. I took it all outside, washed it off, washed baskets and after spraying with Lysol, I sat them on the counter.

The most important tool of the trade, COFFEE, while I wiped cabinets, mopped floors using Clorox and Lysol Together. Am I Germaphobic or What?

Dawn and Clorox for the cabinets and counter tops, sprayed with Lysol First. Yeppers! I am a germaphobic, but you should have seen the gunk that ran all over everything. YUCK

I know, I know, the Glade just coveres smells, but I love Cinnamon.

Proof, I did all this in the DARK.... I had to open the blinds all the way back so I could MOP the WHOLE Kitchen.....

Wash bucket is keeping our planet GREEN by recycling 75 dollar bucket of chlorine that destroys the green effect.

this picture just proves I will take a picture of ANYTHING.

Last but not Least, Who could know a Clorox bottle could be beautiful. Have a nice day, hope it starts better than MINE.
