7. Must be a wonderful feeling!
Did you pay extra each month to pay it off sooner?

And yes, I envision us all having cause to celebrate on th 4th!

16. " hope we will all have something to celebrate next Tuesday night!"
We will all sing :

Celebrate good times, come on! (Let's celebrate)
Celebrate good times, come on! (Let's celebrate)

There's a party goin' on right here
A celebration to last throughout the years
So bring your good times, and your laughter too
We gonna celebrate your party with you

Come on now

Celebration
Let's all celebrate and have a good time
Celebration
We gonna celebrate and have a good time

Well I have that song as an ear-worm so...:)
