Blue Skies Smiling at Me!

July 29, 2015 - I was driving home and noticed that the blue skies were particularly beautiful:

So, I headed to an old fire lookout tower that overlooks our valley.

I hadn't been in this thing in probably 9 years - and I remember it was in rough shape back then!

Definitely not recommended if you're afraid of heights!

Yes...very little in the way of safety precautions :D

Are you afraid of heights?  Would you still try to climb the tower?

(Take into account that there's wind at the top and some of the floorboards are a bit loose!)

Independence Day Celebration

July 3, 2015 - This afternoon we gathered to celebrate our nation's Independence Day.

We began with a short program to remember the history of our founding and the signers of the Declaration:

Mr. Martin

Mr. Smith talks about the importance of the church's voice in civil affairs

Mr. Z talks about Independence Day celebrations of the past

Several of the men took turns reading parts of the Declaration of Independence:

Mr. Belley reads the Declaration de L'Independance for the French-speaking patriots. :)

Proverbs 31:16 just popped into mind when I saw this photo and her body language:

"She considers a field and buys it; 

From her earnings she plants a vineyard."

Time to take down some British soldiers!

Sporting an official licensed GTC polo ;)

The evening ended with English Country Dancing and fireworks!
