It's. . .

your birthday, America! Yippee!!!

TLC and I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe, lemonade-drinkin’, happy, flag-wavin’, parade-watchin’, fun, safe, silly, amazing, hotdog and watermelon-eatin’ (did I mention safe?) and FABULOUS FOURTH of JULY!

Those of us in Texas will be trying to stay COOL. As usual, it ain’t goin’ to be easy. Sheesh.

(Little Leighton, Grammy would like to take this opportunity to suggest this: If you decided to make your appearance by midnight tonight, you’d always have people shootin’ off FIRECRACKERS to celebrate your birthday, too! I’m just sayin’…it’s something to ponder.)

smooches, always…
