Happy July 4th!
Here's a little bit of family history from me...
My grandfather (6 generations ago)
came to America from Hesse, Germany
to help fight the revolutionary war
with the promise that land would be given him.
That agreed with him, and he left his country
to come help fight a war in America.
And as promised,
land was given to him.
Over the last 6 generations,
some of that land has been pieced up and sold,
but I'm proud to say that my family
still lives on some of that land.
Land that has never been owned by anyone else.
Isn't that kind of cool?
Enough about that.
I've made some projects for you today!
First, a cook-out apron card.

I hope all my American friends visiting my blog today
have great plans for the weekend with your
family and friends.
Maybe a cookout?
Maybe some fireworks?
