Happy 4th of July! 2017

 Happy 4th of July, and Happy birthday DAD!!!

Since my Dad and our country share a birthday,

I decided to honor my Pops last Sunday.

He got the "You're Special" plate, we sang to him, and I made him his
favorite angel food cake with fresh berries and cream.

Sidenote: Lottie was helping me make this Angel food cake- (we cracked 16 eggs!),

 Lottie got a little too close to the Kitchen Aid, and her orange

hair got tangled in the mixer and pulled out a substantial chunk on the side.

This was totally dangerous, and I freaked out.
I am so grateful it wasn't too bad--It could have been way worse.

So, as a result (and since I was too lazy to start over, 
this cake was "sprinkled" with tiny pieces of Orange hair.  ;)

I hope you and yours have a wonderful, safe holiday today.
(Don't get burned or too close to any mixers.).

I am so grateful for this beautiful free land of America in which I live,

 raise my children, and enjoy.  I am humbly thankful for those 

who are serving and have served this country to protect
 the rights I so freely enjoy every day.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

(And sunsets, Dr. Pepper, family, and Fox Hill).
