Happy Fourth of July!

I'm going out on a limb and guessing that most of you have big plans for today and won't be taking time to read this (or any other blog).  But if you do have time to pause from your festivities, we at the Oasis hope you'll join us in wishing America a very happy birthday!

To celebrate, I thought I'd share a great quote with you ~

You have to love a nation that celebrates its Independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.

Also, if you haven't seen the posts going on since Monday, I invite you to swing into the INDIEpendence Day Blog Fest -- where more than 70 bloggers recognize their favorite (non-Indelible) Indie authors.  If you've been looking to read some top-quality Indie novels, then here's your chance to find what interests you.

We hope you have a safe and happy holiday!  Happy Birthday, America!
