Happy Birthday to my great grandson Cyrus “Cy” Welch-Scott of Louisville, Ky who will be 11 years old July 22. Cy is the son of my grandson, Andrew Scott and his wife Lily.

I hope you all enjoyed and had a happy independence day. I sure did. My sister sent me a patriot handbook of America for my birthday in 2011. It included the Declaration of Independence, the U.S Constitution and many more patriotic speeches. I am proud to be an American and I do not take that privilege for granted. I pray daily for this nation and its leaders.

May God bless you and your families! If you have news items to share, please call me at 205-884-0040.
