Happy Independence Day!

The Fourth of July always brings up images of barbecues, fireworks, boating on the lake and time spent with loved ones for me.  Growing up, all of our extended family would head up to our family lake house and celebrate with hamburgers, hot dogs, "Flag Cake" (yes, it's a cake that's decorated like the US flag...), and my grandma's potato salad (the BEST in the world!).  We'd go swimming in the lake, decorate the boat for the annual boat parade, set off firecrackers and roast marshmallows over a bonfire in the evening.  It was always a grand celebration of family, friends, life and freedom, and this year will be no different.  So, have a wonderful, safe holiday, and celebrate away!
