Pow Pow!

Another Independence Day come and gone. My dad would have been 77 this Independence Day. For years he convinced me that the fireworks, the day off for everyone... were all for him :p Every year we make fresh strawberry shortcake cos that was Dad's fave. It's also the 16th anniversary of the hubby and my first date!

We spent the day with good friends at their block party. It was a little slice of old fashioned goodness with good food, good drink, liars dice, make your own ice cream sundae's, splashing and of course fireworks.

Happy Birthday America and Happy Birthday, Daddy.
