4th Of July Feast

Well, yet another holiday has come and gone. I hope you all had a good, happy, safe 4th of July. Ours was very quiet and low-key. We went to see a local band play great 80’s tunes. The band, the $6 Million Band, did a great job. I was singing to every song. But it was HOT, HOT, HOT!

Before we left to see the band, I prepared some gourmet burgers and a large fruit platter for us to enjoy later.

Mike and Lauren joined us and the four of us went to rock out in the nearby city of Thornton. After the band, we came back for an all American celebration feast. Lauren brought some potato salad, corn on the cob and hot dogs, and a lemon cake for dessert. We grilled up the burgers, corn on the cob and hot dogs, then I cooked some baked beans and opened up some beets. We had some cool refreshing lemonade too. It was a typical 4th of July feast.

We talked about going to see fireworks once it got dark, but we chose to stay home and play games instead. We could hear the fireworks all around us though. The “kids” were all glad we decided to stay home and spend the evening with them instead of running off again.

Have a great holiday weekend. Stay cool, stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
