Greetings from far from the ranch on a lake somewhere in Minnesota. Our vacation was extended due to an issue with a wheel baring and a pickup that is well over the 200,000 mile marker. But you know, I’m ok with that, no matter what it costs.
Because I think it was a little blessing as we got to exist one more day here with family and water and sun and sailboats and fireworks and fireflies and campfires and enough mosquitoes to literally pick you up and drag you away.
Ahh well, it’s a small price to pay to be able to soak all of this into a heart full of celebration for the freedom to wear whatever you want, eat whatever you want, sleep as late as you want, pick up and smooch on this adorable little nugget whenever you want…
and maybe get drug behind a boat or two with your feet strapped into two 64 inch pieces of slicked up plastic just to say that you can.
Or you might chose to fish.
Or sleep in the hammock.
Whatever, it was Independence Day and in this family we’re all about celebrating that freedom to the fullest…
Hope your weekend was safe, full of sunshine and just the happiest.
Sorry, just had to plop him in there one more time...
See you back at the ranch.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch... 
We are all blessed to live in a country that we can celebrate special days as this…..Rich
Well said Rich. Hope you had a great July 4th too!
Hmmmm…nice….
Which lake is this? My grandparents had a cottage at Lake Melissa in the Detroit Lakes area. And that nugget surely made me smile. Thanks for the lovely pictures.
Hi Karen, what a coincidence, the lake we go to every year is Lake Melissa too! My grandparents have had a cabin there for years.
What a wonderful place – I wish I could just pop into the photos. 🙂
It most defiantly is quite the place. One of my favorite spots in the world!!!
Wow, that was a wonderful trip to the lake with you. 🙂 As an ex-pat it was really nice to see all the stars and stripes. I miss celebrating the 4th!

Thanks country girl! Glad I could bring a little red white and blue to your neck of the woods. Hope all is well! So nice to hear from you!
Never apologize for sneaking in pictures of Sy!! He is a doll and would melt any heart and give anyone a smile that may be much needed.
