One Month

from this past Saturday will be July 4th!  Can you believe it?  For some, July 4th marks the halfway point of summer.  Well, before I depress you, I want to inspire you to make this July 4th really remarkable.  Last year I posted how I have a nostalgic, quintesential idea of how this holiday should be spent.  In my mind it should be home-towny, Americans proud and united, BBQ's, pool time, a parade, sparklers, incredible food, music from the heartland, decorations, tons of red, white, and blue, homemade ice cream, and lastly fireflies & fireworks!  Is that a tall order?  If any of you want to help me co-host a party, let's do it!  Kim?  Hahahaha!!!  Anywho, I am drooling over some of these really awesome ideas.  I better get busy!!
