Did you have a good 4th of July?
We screeched up to our condo here in Florida just as the fireworks were beginning. We were happy to have made it after driving ALL day.
Michael Jackson tunes had been on the iPod the ENTIRE 10-hour drive. My 5-year-old began requesting “Dirty Diana” after a while. And when the kids started to fuss and fight they’d say, “You better not ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Something!'”
On top of the parking garage at the condo (classy, yes) the kids enjoyed the fireworks show for about 7 minutes, then I began to hear, “Mom, do we have any Popsicles? What about strawberries?”
Anything with water in it sounded good. Apparently, they were thirsty, hot and tired.
So inside we went.
Happy birthday, America!
We have so many great meals planned for the week: a roast with potatoes, the mini steakburgers and steaks I ordered, ground beef tacos — oh yeah, and some frozen pizzas thrown in for good measure.
It’s always a good time sharing good food with the people you love. And here in what we think is the most gorgeous place on earth it can’t get any better.
