Happy Independence

I love Independence Day. The Fourth of July.

I love our national anthem. I love our flag.

I love my freedoms.

I love this country.

I love the friends, picnics (including this delicious side dish--best ever.), sparklers, small-town parades and fireworks done big.

Go on, impress your friends and family with your smarts.

Enjoy the holiday weekend safely.
