Although we keep our holiday celebrations pretty muted because our current dog and our last dog (so a combined 30+ years) are and were sensitive to fire works sounds, it doesn't mean that the holiday is any less meaningful.
So hair to the red, white and blue, even though we have never been fully the nation we hope to be, we are still a great experiment that, so far, has meant a better life for many. Let's hope that as we go forward we continue to grow and mature and spend more of our time and energy on giving each citizen a better shot at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I am grateful that I have a life, I have liberty to do as I choose (for the most part) each day...but is anyone really ever finished pursuing happiness?
Although this is essentially a political day, I choose to look at it as a day to enjoy a good BBQ and some great side dishes. Sweetie will take care of the BBQ. I'm working on what else to eat tonight. Any suggestions? We had sweet corn on the cob last night, plus a fresh green salad. Maybe tonight will be kale salad? Corn and black bean and sweet red pepper salad? Roasted sweet potatoes and grilled zucchini? Suggestions gratefully accepted.
Hope your July 4th is wonderful!
