America is a bit battered and bruised from the hard knocks of the housing crisis, the faltering economy and the lack of character and leadership of far too many of our business and political leaders. I do not remember a time when the morale of the average person on the street was so downbeat. It's not a jubilant time in the United States of America, but this is our holiday and celebrate it we must.
My personal and professional plans will overlap this weekend. I'll do some face to face social networking with long-term friends (and a great source of new business) this evening, there will be a family barbecue (I'm willing to bet the topic of real estate will come up). Sunday morning I'll be up early having my tea and strawberries and cream while I watch the Wimbledon finals, and on Sunday afternoon I'll hold an open house.
Independence is a precious and precarious gift. Untold lives were, and still are, given to ensure our independence continues uninterrupted. It's not perfect, there are problems to be solved and challenges to be met, but it's still worth fighting for. So twirl a sparkler, watch some fireworks and remember those who fought bigger battles, stronger foes and emerged victorious.
I think the best thing I can do for my country this weekend is go sell a house.

Norma, I'm exhausted from selling homes but hey that is a good thing (I'm not complaining). I received the most INCREDIBLE email today about what our founding fathers who signed the declaration of Independence went through. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!! We are so blessed to live in this great land of ours even through all the trials and tribulations.
Norma, sounds like a whole lot more fun that sending messages on Twitter or Facebook! Have a wonderful 4th!
Howdy there Norma
Folks sure do need to remember, that the Freedoms they get to enjoy each and every day. Did not at all come to them free. Others have paided a hight price for them, to have them.
Have a fun and safe 4th of July!
God Bless America!
Well said ... have a fabulous and safe 4th of July!
