I was thinking yesterday about all the things the US has given the world -- because every invention, every deed, every book, song, creation has benefited the world -- and the U.S. has given so much!<br /><br />Thanks Ruth.

I am a day late, but no less grateful. I do love that a lady of exiles stands there as a reminder. We have grown into a cumbersome, clutzy nation, but still with the ever-changing fabric of new immigrants! If only we can keep adjusting to the changes of these current days, keep listening, always listening for who we are, we'll be all right. But at times it sure seems tough to feel that the vision of freedom and hope is still alive.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273998760028140856.post-8455323447897553782011-07-04T12:50:41.702-06:002011-07-04T12:50:41.702-06:00Thanks everyone!

More storms tonight. I'm hoping to get a warm shower in somewhere in between.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273998760028140856.post-19883118238531382082011-07-04T10:23:28.855-06:002011-07-04T10:23:28.855-06:00oh louise -thanks for sharing this and the beautif...oh louise -thanks for sharing this and the beautiful sonnet by Emma Lazarus...strong words!Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03011763027311966186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273998760028140856.post-42799007409425317442011-07-04T10:02:05.492-06:002011-07-04T10:02:05.492-06:00LG,
