Happy Independence Day America

I created the graphic above while listening to Celebrate the 4th of July from Altissimo! Records on Apple Music.

I forgot where I found the American Flag on the Internet

To The Deal Hunters

Now that we have consumed the turkey, potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and bottles of wine (and don’t forget the pumpkin pie)…it is time for the crazy shoppers to head out for Christmas shopping.

I wish thee well on your deal hunting.  May St. Nicholas watch over you during your hand-to-hand combat.  After all we want little “Billy” and “Susie” to have the perfect Christmas.  I shall sleep well and have breakfast around 9:00AM.

Happy Thanksgiving 2016

We Thank Thee
By: Ralph Waldo Emerson

For flowers that bloom about our feet,
Father, we thank Thee.
For tender grass so fresh, so sweet,
Father, we thank Thee.
For the song of bird and hum of bee,
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

For blue of stream and blue of sky,
Father, we thank Thee.
For pleasant shade of branches high,
Father, we thank Thee.
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

For this new morning with its light,
Father, we thank Thee.
For rest and shelter of the night,
Father, we thank Thee
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Labor Day 2012

Happy Labor Day my fellow Americans!  

I’ve made it another year staying employed as an IT consultant.  The last year was very productive for me.  My project for migrating the client I’m assigned to from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Office is almost complete.  We migrated everyone from BlackBerry to iPhone 4S for Exchange server connection (including iPads), and shortly we will be migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7.

Tonight I’ll be feating on slow cooked ribs, grilled corn on the cob when the rain stops (thanks remnants Hurricane Isaac).  I might tape off a small section of my office to complete the accent stripe for the office walls, and maybe read a book tonight.

Happy Fourth of July!!

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays.  Some of my favorite things include fireworks, picnics, hangout with family and friends, and enjoying being outside playing games, riding my bike, or reading a book.  This year I took the family to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, Pennsylvania a few days ago.  We had a great time with all the rides, shows, and water park.  We left the park to have a picnic lunch before returning to enjoy the park some more.

I am planning on grilling ribs, hotdogs and corn on the cob for dinner.  Tonight I will line the sidewalk with sparklers to have a little fun for the kids.  I’m sure the kids will have have fun writing thing in the air with sparklers too.  We will watch the fireworks from the front yard since there is a park near by, and maybe have some of the fudge we picked up a Dutch Wonderland with iced tea or lemonade.
