Thoughts From Miss Trudy: July
July 4, 2009
July,
Sounds like the smack of a wooden screen door.
Smells like potato salad.
Looks sparkly.
Feels grass tickley, sweat dribbly, sticky, & drippy.
Tastes of fresh corn, watermelon & ice cream
Remembers lives given for our country
Is proud of the family that is America
Enjoys itself
Accepts sticky, hot, happy rambunctious children
Prays for all that serve and protect
Wears the colors of our flag
Wishes all children freedom, play, health and connection with home, family and faith.
Sings sincerely “God Bless America!”

Helen G Costello? I thought your moms name was Trudy? Of course you’re really called Joseph…….. I’ve got a headache

Just beautiful. God has blessed this nation so, it is wonderful to hear expressions of our “essence” on this most important day for Americans. Let us never lose our appreciation for the gifts; or our applause for those who can remind us of them — thank you Miss Trudy!

“Wishes all children freedom, play, health and connection with home, family and faith.”
Amen sister, Trudy.
