I wish I could be there tomorrow
To celebrate with all my friends
The day that all states were united
From early morn, until it ends


I wish I could be there tomorrow
To see the Stars and Stripes go high
And toast with you in happy laughter
Wishing this day would never die


I wish I could be there tomorrow
Alas, I won't be able to
But if I will see Stars at night
I'll color them red and white and blue


Because...those are my colors too


HAPPY 4th of July

Titia

Hey Deer, when you drink your drinks tomorrow, drink one for me will you?

This Dutchie gal sure is missing the party, ain't I. I'll be there in thoughts dear pal.

Very nice.  Thanks for the wish.  A toast to you as well, as you are in the land of my forefathers.  Holland (Grandfather) to Canada (Father) to the U.S. (Me).  We're all closer than one would imagine, aye?

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Actually, sweetie...for those who truly
love and protect their country?

It never ends...

Hi Kraw, swat a few of them moquitos for me too, will you, I hate those creatures as I'm always their target.

Susan, do you know wich part of Holland your Grandpa came from? Yes, it's a small world.

Sunshine my friend, due to my exquisit grammar: "From early morn, until it ends..."
I meant the 4th of July dear. That day will surely end at 12.00 at night, or at least early next morn

Passing Shadows, 'be together in spirit'? I'm trying, I'm trying, enjoying a beer already, my spirit will fly high tonight

Have a wonderful day my friends.

Titia
