For a live Christmas special, they’re tasked with renovating a cozy New Hampshire cabin alongside a new duo, Cooper (Lissing) and Janice (Samantha Kendrick, The Snow Must Go On).

"God Bless America"

by Irving Berlin

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea

Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free

Let us all be grateful for a land so fair

As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer

God bless America, land that I love

Stand behind her and guide her

Through the night with a light from above

From the mountains, to the prairies

To the oceans white with foam

God bless America

My home sweet home

I hope you all had a very nice 4th of July weekend. Isn't it wonderful to have this occasion to honor our country and all who have fought for our freedom.

I had such a nice time watching a Fireworks Display with my family... and listening to patriotic songs play along with the show.

My favorite American Patriotic Songs:

God Bless America
The Star Spangled Banner
America, the Beautiful
God Bless the USA
My Country Tis of Thee

and much, much more!

Every year, like millions of Americans, I wear a flag tee or red, white, and blue something. This year I wore this great comfy tank top - that featured an America Flag and said God Bless America...

I thought it would be perfect for a hot Summer 4th of July day. Wouldn't you know it... our day was rainy, damp, and cool all day. It was so chilly, I had to wear a hoodie, too!
