Not Defeated

The Fourth of July Tree got a little boost yesterday when Kathy and I were wandering through Hobby Lobby and we came upon some red/white/blue tinsel and some little flag-like confetti stars!  Sierra got to work this morning:

Here is the current state of our Christmas-Fourth-of-July tree:

In other news J-dude pitched 2 "perfect" innings last night in his game.  No walks, no hits, no errors.  His shortstop made a great play to catch what could have been a hit to left field.  J's team won 13-0.  This was welcome news after they lost their first two games 0-8 and 4-12.  So now they are not, as J-dude calls a team that hasn't won any games at all, "defeated."
