{Happy 239th Birthday USA! - GOD BLESS AMERICA}

To all US Citizens: 'Happy 4th of July!'
Indeed, Happy 239th Birthday USA and may GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Last year's 4th of July photos...
Flying our Georgia State flag, left and the flag of the United States of America to the right.
Our patriotic feline Tiggy-Tiger
The Black Gum tree to the right, got cut down on November 6 of 2014...
With our trees growing bigger and bigger it is hard for taking photos of the house!
The Hibiscus is in view to the left...
Black gum tree in the back, above our white double Hibiscus syriacus Jeanne D'Arc, from Italy.
Always feeling lucky if it doesn't rain on the 4th of July...
Photos were taken around 18:45.
View to the road.
That was our first summer with the tiled patio and pot plants.
May you enjoy a lovely 4th of July!

    I love the way you share my love for this country. Despite my dual nationality, I wouldn't live anywhere else The US has given me and my family so much . I can never forget that it was American GIs who liberated my French father from a German prison camp. I know he never forgot.

    Joyeux quatre!!

    Big Bisous, ma chère Mariette,

      Dearest Jim,
      So happy to read that you are back in the U.S. for this very special day. Happy 4th to you and hope you had a lovely day so far. We had potluck lunch with friends near the river. Just got back in the car before a heavy thunderstorm started a downpour.
      Hugs,
      Mariette and Pieter
