Happy Birthday America

THE SAVVY SHOPPER wishes everyone who celebrates ... a Happy 4th of July.

In my childhood, after night fall on Independence Day my parents and I walked a few blocks from our house to an overpass where we could watch our city's fireworks light up the sky, a common practice all across America in big cities and small towns alike. Near the river, we stood with neighbors we often did not know. As an adult I cherish the memories of us standing in dim-city-lit dark with other families, a light breeze blowing while we waited for the show to start.

May the freedom that Lady Liberty represents live on for many centuries and eventually encompass all the peoples around the globe. Those of us who are free should always think about others who are not and do what we can for them. Hopefully, America will eternally be a beacon of hope for all, despite some missteps and trying times.

Enyoy the family, food and festivities! Happy Birthday, America!🎉🇺🇸🌭
