Independence

We are all finished with the long holiday weekend--July 4th, our country's Independence Day. I was on standby for work so I spent most of Saturday working on potholders (for a fund raiser) and watching movies -- 2 movies -- Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and The Patriot. I had not seen Frank Capara's Mr. Smith Goes To Washington and I was thrilling, amazed, and sad. Watch it--it was made in 1939 but as far as plot, it could have been made in 2009! Then I watched The Patriot with Mel Gibson and cried. It is an amazing story and definitely makes a person stop and think about the war and sacrifice and all that that the colonists did for our country, it is just hard to watch all that bloodshed and loss without being sad. Here is my current favorite quote from Mr. Smith "liberty is too precious a thing to be buried in books" Take a moment today to think about your liberty.
