Last year I did a 4th of July Recipes post. I can’t believe it’s been a year! Check out that post for more ideas.

I enjoyed hearing your answers to what you’re On Board With from my last post.

And thanks for sharing your computer and technology tips . It’s always nice to learn something new.

Questions:

  1. 4th of July plans?

I have no idea what we’re doing yet. Being that it falls on a Monday, I am not sure what we will be doing over the weekend, if we’re seeing fireworks, what day, where. Pretty much it’s going to be a wing it weekend.

I have to work all weekend, and Scott has to work some on Monday, too, for part of the day, but we’ll find time to just chill and get our firecracker on.

  1. Favorite foods to eat over the 4th or any summertime favorites or any Red , White, or Blue Food that you’ve been enjoying recently?
