We are visiting family in Jackson, Missouri for the 4th – One son and his family yesterday and today, the other for dinner on the way home. Thankful and blessed. And, if you get up early here, you get the patriotic donut! 😂

We watched fireworks from various neighborhood displays from the deck last night, but seriously with this view no fireworks were even needed! However, we were treated to about an hour of some beautiful fireworks.

This morning we had the honor of a Cardinal visit, perched at the top of a cedar tree. As my sister mentioned when she saw this video clip, “You never know what you’ll see when sitting in the clouds.” 🥰
