Are you celebrating on the Fourth of July this year?  I am!  I’m having a cook-out with family & friends, celebrating the July 4th holiday along with my dad’s & my birthdays.  (Check out the RECIPES tab above to see what cake we will be having!)

There will be a houseful for a few days & I soon realized in all my organizing of my garage…getting all the (many) “things” I will need for the gathering, that I..yes…Mark Roberts himself did not yet have his own 2009 Fireworks Fairy!  Well of course, I corrected that “oversight” and now all my other July 4th related Fairies have one more to round out my celebration.

I am probably going to fly him outside my back patio where there is a nice sitting (and gathering) area, along with the grill & outdoor dining table.

Am I proud to be an American?  You betcha!
