The heritage we have

Happy Fourth of July to all Arkansans. Celebrate with a prayer for this free land. Have a picnic with all the summer veggies and fruits. Add a hot dog or hamburger on the grill. Propose a toast with ice-cold tea, lemonade or a beer. All goes down easy. Ice cream is a must in a cone, and berries to fill a bowl.

What a heritage we have—all of us here from other places and blending well. Wherever we go we see smiling faces and happy children. Hug one another while you can. Fly high or sail smoothly and drive carefully when vacation begins. Half the fun of the journey is the anticipation.

Lucky us—we have such a wide range to choose—take joy and pack love and give it all away.
