I’ll keep this Fourth of July greeting short, since I know that there are many Cozy Mystery Site readers who aren’t USA citizens, so please bear with me…
A lot of you are probably out enjoying the summer weather, picnics in the park, time with loved ones >>> It seems like this holiday brings out a time when a lot of us want to connect with others, to enjoy the simple pleasures that we are able to take for granted.
The Fourth of July is a time when I always think of both my father and my father in law. Both of them served in the armed forces so that we could enjoy all of the rights and liberties that we have to enjoy.
THANK YOU to all of those who have made the Fourth of July a holiday that depicts how truly lucky we are!
