We the People

Sunday morning I had to make a trip to Walmart to pick up a few things for stuff I was making to take to my daughter's house later that day. When I headed to the registers I noticed a section they had set up with $1 manager specials. I saw an item I couldn't resist buying. I took them to my daughters as a special little gift. There were two towels in the pack. Not bad for a dollar

Boom Bang

 Saturday night I stayed up late so that I could watch the fireworks. The little town I live in has been doing a pretty good fireworks display for the 4th for several years now. I sit out on the deck and get a pretty good view.

I started to try and take pictures of them but then decided a video would be better. I actually took several short videos and I won't bore you with all of them but here is one.

Ginny left me the following comment yesterday

I really like this post, I can tell you put a lot of thought and time into it. Will you be off? Will Presely get to see fireworks? Will Gibbs be scard of them? Perhaps I need to tune in tomorrow for the answers.

Yes, I did have the day off. I wasn't expecting to because Sunday is my usual day to work so it was a nice surprise when I saw that I didn't have to work it. I have no idea what Presley will be doing. I haven't seen her since Christmas. Last year before Christmas I made a comment that apparently didn't sit well with Presley's mother and my son isn't much for keeping in contact or bringing his daughter around to see me. 

Gibbs isn't bothered by the fireworks at all. I don't think I have ever had a dog who was.

Independence day

 So on this 4th of July we celebrate our independence

We'll have picnics, go to parades, set of fireworks.

We'll thank those who were brave enough to fight for our freedom.

John F. Kennedy

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty."

Galatians 5:13

"For you have been called to live in freedom. Use your freedom to serve one another in love."

Wishing all my U.S. friends a happy 4th of July. For those of you who live elsewhere I wish you a day filled with love and happiness.

On my post yesterday Sandra from Madsnapper left me the comment  you can proably decorate this cake with your eyes closed.. at least they did not want a flag, that would be harder

Well I never did get around to taking pictures at work of the 4th of July cakes I made but I knew I had some in the archives that were flag related. It's actually quite easy to do a flag cake.

This one was for a family reunion. I remember asking the woman who ordered it about it and she explained but I don't recall what the story was behind this cake

This one was pretty simple also.
