On this 249th anniversary of our Independence, I'd like to wish you all a safe, respectful Holiday!
We're looking forward to brats on the grill, baked beans with brown sugar and bacon, a nice cold tomato and cucumber salad, a glass of iced tea or a cold brew, and friends to share the day with. We even have a red, white and blue cheesecake to end our feast!
We plan on playing some cards until dusk and then sitting out on the patio to watch the fireworks.
Simple pleasures.
I give thanks to our brave men and women of the Armed Forces, Fire Departments, Police and other service members who cannot celebrate with their loved ones on this day.
Thank you for serving and protecting us.
Enjoy the day, my friends.
