It’s that time of year when the United States of America celebrate their independence. It’s a great time to look back at history to see what it really means. It’s also a good time to read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. So often, with all the emotion out there and a press that seems to enjoy pitting American citizens against each other, we forget about what this great country is all about and it’s foundation.

On my walk this morning I couldn’t help but notice all the good citizens of Coupeville displaying their colors in support for our country. Here’s a taste of what I saw.

Captain Joseph Clapp House, 1886.

These are the condo’s down by the Coupeville Wharf.

My friend Rudy’s beautiful old house.

I love the big porch on this house. I’d love to sit and swing a while there.

The Zylstra House, 1889.

The Lovejoy – Parker House, 1886.

The Blue Goose Inn. John & Jane Kineth House, 1887.

And finally, our front porch!

I hope you have a great Forth of July. Have fun but be safe!

I’ll see you again soon. Thanks for walking with me!
