I'm in awe of the calendar [wide-eyed blank stare at the month of June]. Regardless of my disbelief, we have a 'bangin' weekend coming up! Fireworks, sparklers and hot dogs galore are in our future...and I CAN'T WAIT!
July 4th is a chart-topper for fav' holidays. Backyard BBQs, boat rides, pool parties, parades, festivals, campfires and of course the light shows in the sky ensure this holiday to be a memory-maker! For example, raise your hand if you've found yourself stuck inside a house with a screaming and terrified child during the grand finale of a fireworks display? Or perhaps your friend once left a box of mortars too close to a campfire and the last words you hear are, "RUUUUN!!!". Aaaaaah, memories!
A holiday weekend typically promises a busy weekend. As we approach the holiday and we prepare the red, white & blue attire, the menus, and the fun...be prepared to wave your flag a little harder and a little longer come the 4th. Let's celebrate our independence, together, and be grateful for this amazing country that we call home.
“Home of the free because of the brave.”

We live in a great nation and there is much to celebrate. Yes, there will be hot dogs and fireworks [so excited], but let's not forget our favorite side dish: patriotism! Be safe and salute my friends!
