Let Freedom Ring!  

Each July 4th as we celebrate our nation’s birthday, independence is top of mind, and this year is no different. Tim and I recently attended Fort Bend Salutes celebrating Fort Bend’s graduating seniors who have enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces. We were so impressed and honored by these young men and women who have made the choice to serve our country, insuring our independence.

Because of those who have gone before us – and those who proudly serve today – we are free to make choices and express ourselves in our great nation.  Art is a huge part of independent expression, and Historic Downtown Rosenberg is at the forefront of showcasing the amazing talent in our community.  Cisco Tucker Kolkmeier is leading the way with a dynamic retrospective exhibit along with plans to highlight some amazing artists in the coming months. I hope you will stop by the many venues showcasing artists when you’re in Rosenberg and appreciate all that the arts have to offer.

This summer, I must say independence has been more on my mind than ever before. When you live with a 17 and 19 year-old, it seems that the phrase “independence” – and especially the phrase “freedom” – take on an entirely new meaning.  Susan B. Anthony said, “Independence is happiness.”  Did she have kids?

Happy July 4th!  Enjoy the fireworks, the food and especially your family!

Absolutely! yours,
