Life on the Home  Front

 

The weather during the month of July is usually much hotter.This

year the garden was planted in hopes that we would not get snow in

June nor a late frost. Other than a few weeds, the tomatoes, peppers,

lettuce, cucumbers and many other vegetables are growing. The kids

have something to do besides sports camps and riding bicycles.This

is Red, White & Blue month as it is the month to celebrate our freedom and what so many have valiantly fought for and sacrificed. We will be having lots of of booms and firecrackers as long as weather is permitting.

                                 Happy 4th of July!

 

 

   

 

Happy Anniversary & Birthday to Mr & Mrs. JR

 

This year, Mr. JR turns 50 years old on the infamous date of July 9th. Remember, I haven't aged since 39 and will forever be young

at heart. We are looking forward to having a celebration of family and friends before going on vacation. 

 

 

                   LAND OF LIBERTY

I love my country's pine-clad hills,
Her thousand bright and gushing rills,
Her sunshine and her storms;
Her rough and rugged rocks, that rear
Their hoary heads high in the air

In wild, fantastic forms.

 

I love her rivers, deep and wide,
Those mighty streams that seaward glide
To seek the ocean's breast;

Her smiling fields, her pleasant vales,
Her shady dells, her flow'ry dales,
The haunts of peaceful rest.

 

I love her forests, dark and lone,

For there the wild bird's merry tone
I hear from morn till night;
And there are lovelier flowers, I ween,
Than e'er in Eastern lands were seen,
In varied colors bright.

 

Her forests and her valleys fair,
Her flowers that scent the morning air--
All have their charms for me;
But more I love my country's name,
Those words that echo deathless fame,
"The Land of Liberty."

 

 

Stars & Bars

Stars are an integral part of the estate of which it was named.

A star can be seen from any where on the estate in some form.

The estate is named after the Stars & Bars flag which flew

when Lincoln was in office in 1865.

Wittrock Family Reunion - July 25, 2008 

Okarche, Oklahoma 

Make plans to attend, this will give every one in the family a chance to catch up. Approx. 180 relatives will be reuniting in Yukon, Oklahoma & Okarche, Oklahoma. As I

 was told by my Dad - you have a year to plan to be there, so I had better be present. It is important for families to get together and share memories. The kids are looking forward to seeing cousins they have never met and spending some time on the original Wittrock Centennial Farm. Thanks to Aunt Anita and all who helped pull this together! 

 

Just Remember United States of America GIs

 

 

                 A website dedicated to our Fallen Soldiers was launched to recognize

                               those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our Freedom.

                                           They are all true American Heroes.

Independence Day is more than a chance for family and friends throughout the country to gather for barbecues and fireworks displays, it is an annual celebration to commemorate the courage and faith of our founding fathers in their pursuit of liberty.
