HAPPY 4th of July AMERICA!! What a very LOOOOOONG day it was today! We got up at 5AM to go stake our claim at the local park for the firework show. Then I tried to go back to bed, but too many things were going through my head, like the schedule for making each menu on my 4th of July Menu:
Ribs
Crock Pot Baked Beans
Deviled Eggs
Strawberry, banana, blueberry flag kabobs
Banana Pudding Dessert
Each item takes a certain amount of time to make and prepare and so I kept thinking about which to do first. Let me just say also that making each one of these was a happy moment for me, because last Summer, there was not a whole lotta baking going on in my house due to my broken arm and broken heart over the loss of Daisy.
This year our family gathered together at our home and my 92 year old Great-Aunt Ramona came as well. She had such a great time with us and I am so happy she came and joined the family fun this year! The kids all had such a fun day playing with the neighborhood kids in the morning and then their cousin in the afternoon.
There was a community fair going on all day and my friend Jennifer was a volunteer for the community. I got to go and spend some time with her and that was so nice to catch up for a bit!
After our amazing dinner and dessert, we headed over to the park to listen to music, visit other people, visit with each other, and let the kids run around. The firework show started at around 9PM and did not disappoint this year! It went on for almost 30 full minutes with amazing colors and sparkly sounds!
So here it is 10 pm on a Wednesday night and I am BEAT! So off to bed I go, but I am so thankful for our nations freedom and all of the wonderful people who fight to keep it that way. I am so thankful for all of the fun Independence Day happy moments that occurred and I am grateful to be getting some much needed sleep now! God Bless America!
