Happy Day Before the Fourth of July!
I'm sure most Americans today are getting ready for that celebration in spite of the economy. Logically, we still have to eat.
And the entertainment, fireworks; are usually free!
That is when a community is doing them not you in your own backyard. Please America be careful, more deaths, lost limbs, burns etc. are caused by well meaning parents trying to have fun with their kids only to have these horrendous tragedies occur! My warnings come from me, a wife of a retired fireman and police officer and his horror stories that were relayed to me, and that is why I have mentioned them. Stay safe, but have fun!
Hot dogs and hamburgers the traditional menu are still not all that costly an expense. Although, according to all reports they are 16% higher in price.
Watermelon too is a mainstay for this time of year, and now supposedly an aphrodisiac. /:-) The rind, that is. All those delish salads, Cole slaw, potato, and macaroni! Red, white and blue desserts... strawberries and blueberries on a shortcake with whip cream, and you have a wow!
Anyway, when I was a child I thought the nation was celebrating my birthday, but just a few days late; since mine is on the first.I must admit, I was a very, very young child at the time.
Our youngest son was born the year of our bicentennial, and received a birth certificate that commemorated that!
So this is one of my favorite holidays, summer, eats, and loud beautiful colors in those sky displays!
Watch out for your four footed friends too, those noises seem to give even the most loving creatures the willies.
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
