Happy Birthday USA

On this the GREATEST day in American history, normally I’d attempt to write an eloquent, if not verbose, piece about the nobility of our republic and acknowledge those who’ve paid the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom, liberty and individual rights. However, I don’t think I could add anything substantive to what my home girl WeaselMomma has already stated in her beautifully written post Fathering a Nation. Please check it out.

So instead I’ll just leave you with this photo of my breakfast (Yea, that’s right, I said “my breakfast.” Inspiration can take many different forms and this is what you do when you’re a SAHD and the kids are still sleeping.) that pretty much captures the emotion I experience when I think of the Fourth of July, a very special day that commemorates so much. Happy Birthday USA!

That is awesome. It could only have been more awesome (awesomer?) and patriotic if you'd managed to tint the yellow part of the eggs blue.

I'll do that next year and add some flags!

See, I told you not to rule out the possibility that I am a moron. This was clearly a PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard) issue. Nice breakfast.

steelydad

You're hilarious! Anyhow, thanks for the persistence. I hope it was well worth the effort!

WeaselMomma

I swear I see no photo, or even where it would be. It's obvious Surprised mom sees it, but it's not coming through for me, or I'm just an idiot. Never discount that possibility.

It's the link that says "Happy Birthday USA."

Oh, I'm so hungry! Very nicely placed breakfast. Very picturesque. Yeah and I"m LOL. I"m glad you feel this way about breakfast when you're kids are still sleeping and about the Fourth of July! Happy Fourth!

I'm glad you were able to see the pic because WM said she could not view it. Happy Fourth to you as well!

steelydad

Thanks, WM. I'm not sure about the photo. I just checked and I see it just fine. Maybe try again? If anyone else is not seeing the pic please let me know. It's kind of an integral part of the story.

WeaselMomma

Ummmm, where's the photo? I see nuttin'. Thanks you for your very kind words and your comment. Btw, I commented on Daddy's Little Secret, but I neglected to tell you how much I loved it and how hard I laughed. Today is a much better day and Thank you.
