So here's how we'll be commemorating our country's independence:
- nearly 16 pounds of ribs
- hot dogs, salmon burgers and all the buns that accompany them
- one giant watermelon
- assorted soft drinks, juices, bottled water, wine and bottled sangria
- chips and dips
- coleslaw fixings
- veggie platter
- a variety of poppers and sparklers (none of the heavier stuff because our city doesn't allow them and we're wusses)
- many, many friends in our tiny back yard
Do you think we're doing enough to help stimulate the economy?
Hope you all have a great Fourth of July weekend. Stay safe and don't lose any fingers!
