Independence
Day Reflections
On Sunday morning my
pastor began by saying, “I’d rather have a rainy Independence Day than no
Independence Day at all.” What a great point. This was
my 16thconsecutive year to participate in the O’Fallon parade
and this is the first time I had to carry an umbrella. I didn’t send
any parade photos because it’s hard to get a good one when the
representative is drenched! So instead I am sending this photo of Betsy
from a card I passed out at the parade. The tone of this
year’s parade was in many ways more meaningful. With a decrease in
attendance, I was left with more time to think about the statement our
actions are making. Before that parade was a third over, I could
feel the water squishing between my toes in my boots. I had hemmed
my Betsy Ross skirt to be the perfect length for a dry walk, not thinking
that a soaked skirt would add about four inches to the length! I of course
realized that my difficulties couldn’t begin to compare with those who
endured hardship and death to secure our liberty. They left behind bloody
footprints in the harsh winter snow. I -on the other hand- ruined just a
pair of boots. I am so very proud to
be an American and count it a privilege to serve the great state of

Last
week Representative Davis presented a resolution at the new Wal-Mart on
Highway K. She served on the O’Fallon Board of Aldermen when
Wal-Mart opened a few years ago. This event marked the
transformation from a regular Wal-Mart into a Supercenter
Wal-Mart.
This
major event was attended by hundreds from the
Mid-West.

Bit of Humor
The man approached
the very beautiful woman in the large "Why?"
"Because every time
I talk to a beautiful woman my wife appears out of
nowhere."
