Birthday and Friday All at the Same Time

July 4, 2014 · by John W. Howell · in TGIF, Uncategorized · 20 Comments

July 4^th and a Friday. How do we get so lucky? Every seven years we have the two together which makes the week a rush job for sure. This week’s JohnKu (term coined by Words4jp) is about the birth of the United States. I hope you have a safe and happy Fourth of July celebration.

Today she was born,

Not a life, but the country. . .

May she never die.

Perfect, John! Have a wonderful day and weekend. Enjoy your margarita! For us, we’re going to grill a couple of steaks, have a nice bottle of cabernat, and hope the neighbors’ fireworks don’t fall into our yard 😉

A Fourth of July on a Friday – what a wonderful combination that must be. We don’t mention the Fourth of July over here in the UK. Hope you had a fun time celebrating it with your family John.

  Thanks Guy. I’ll bet the Boston Tea Party gets little fanfare as well.
