july 4th

We had a very simple july 4th celebration with family. We ate a delicious meal cooked by my lovely mother, with desserts enjoyed afterwards.  My sister made the triple layered cake and I made the cookies. They were meant to come out red, white and blue, but instead they came out pink, cream and greenish. oh, well. It's the thought.

Thanks to Erin and my brother-in-law for the fireworks and the show!

And a heartfelt thanks to all the brave men and women who gave (and who are giving) all for our freedom!
