Happy 4th of July

We are in the middle of Iowa were we spent the night last night. Got a late start since the car was still not ready from the body shop. But all is well now since we are on the road and should arrive in Indy late this afternoon. I think I counted 186.4, "how many minutes until we're there". Yes, I was ready to scream or heavily drug the child but I resisted. I tend to be the driver so I can avoid all the request, referring for wrestling matches and just zone out at the wheel. Rock doesn't seem to mind so it works out well. I also have a hard time relaxing since Rock sleeps best behind the wheel. scary
Rock and the kids are at the pool while I catch a quick blog moment and then it is back to the open road and 'another tank of freedom.'
These are some freedoms I am thankful for...
the ability to worship how I choose, being able to have any job that suits me and choosing my own healthcare, the blessing of sending my kids to any school and educating them how we see fit. And if I want to be a crazy, wacked out live-in-the-hills all natural hippy ~I can (I think I will be saving that option for later). My granddaddy fought in one of the world wars and for that I am thankful. My list is longer but the troops are back and it's time to hit the road.
Many blessings to you and your family as we celebrate our priceless freedoms.
