I love July 4th!
Sure, I enjoy having the day off of work and I adore a fantastic display of well orchestrated pyrotechnics, but I also try to keep in mind that July 4 is more than a fun holiday centered on fireworks, food and family and friends.
Of course, the Fourth of July is a commemoration of the founding of our nation and the struggles and achievements that came along with it.
So, let’s take a moment today to remember the events that shaped this annual celebration and the importance of Independence Day to our history and future as a nation.
With that, have a fun filled and eventful Fourth of July!

I saw the racing sausages at Glendale Days today and thought of you! (and also our nation and our freedoms. I was proudly wearing a Statue of Liberty costume, myself.)
