The 4th!!!

We had a great 4th!!! We did fireworks yesterday, and we loved them, but Bri's flash on her camera was torturing every one it was so bright!!!Not really I think it was that and the fireworks, ;). She got some beautiful pictures!

Happy 4th of July!

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!

O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!

O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

"America, the Beautiful"

What Andrew found on the back porch...

Cats!!!  They came on the seventh. At first there were two kittens and than one more came. The mom was so skinny! After Daddy came home from work, he fed her some meat and raw egg. We've seen her some more since then, and she found a TON of raw meat in the trash can, and ate it :P.

Bye!

Ooze-Brick

(Yes I'm fine, and back!)
I will now commence to start to write, for your benefit, a quick way to have fun on a rainy day, even though you may think it more fun to play in the rain then do any thing else, which I don't.                   


                                                              Ooze-Brick

1/2 cup corn/tapioca starch

1/4 cup water

Mix WELL, or the starch will just be sitting there, and it won't work.

Ooze-Brick lasts for about one week. (When purple throw away! :)!)

I named it 'Ooze-Brick' because it oozes through your fingers when it is in it's liquid form, but then it becomes a solid when you squeeze it. Its original name was oobleck.

God bless!!!
