Good morning all,
 I wanted to wish everyone a very happy 4th and long weekend ahead....check out this video... http://www.youtube.com/embed/_LpMB1OZ53g?feature=player_detailpage%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20allowfullscreen%3E%3C/iframe%3E&autoplay=1 it's a great fireworks display, I hope you can share it with the kids...we have to remind ourselves how fortunate we are to live in the USA with so many opportunities and freedom. Be safe and remember we have to always do our best, enjoy everything we do, live in the present, make each day special as we pass through it, be thankful for the good in our lives...smile & have fun, Gabe
