Red, White, and Blue

This little Beanie Bear's name is "Red." We had planned to take Red to see Elisabeth (our 10-month-old granddaughter.) We had also bought her a large Mylar "flag balloon." I thought these would make great props for pictures of Elisabeth. Our plans were changed because Joe woke up with a cold and sore throat. There was also a prediction of 70% chance of rain here in central Florida. We need the rain, but it sure messes up the 4th of July festivities - barbeques, parades, fireworks, etc. We have so much to be thankful for, among all this we are thankful for our freedom - and for the rain!
