4th of July 2008


Kristen said "this was one of the Best 4th of Julys ever!" It was a GREAT day for the Shipley family! It started at picking up Bagels at 6 a.m., having a flag raising ceremony at the church, golf and tennnis, BBQ with family and friends... swimming... Wimbleton (Tivo)...then off to an amazing firework display at Saddlebrook Country Club... where it was cooler.. on the golf course.. strawberry home made icecream, choco-dipped licorice (family tradition) with good friends Doug and Rozanne.
We realized that this would be our last 4th of July celebration with Scott before his mission... maybe his last one for 2 years or maybe not.. it depends on where Heavenly Father will send him.
Yesterday was Robin's last day of 45 years.. all in all ... a very good year!
I am grateful to be an American and enjoy the blessing of the Gospel. I am blessed with a good family and some really great friends!
Happy 4th of July from the Shipleys!
