And what a great holiday it is. What a wonderful time to celebrate this country. I too often take it all for granted, but how grateful I am for the endless freedoms we take advantage of without even thinking about them (at least I do). How grateful I am to our founding fathers that sacrificed more than we know to make our country into what it is. How grateful I am for our Constitution and government that sets boundaries to keep our country free. How grateful I am to the many soldiers who are fighting across the world to sustain and preserve this beautiful, blessed country. How grateful I am for the United States of America. My heart goes out to you. God bless America!Transition to next topic: In light of a Fourth of July tradition my sisters' and I started several years ago, I post a picture. Every year we make a Fourth of July "fire engine red" cake, meaning we dye the batter bright red, and then proceed to decorate the baked cake with red, white, and blue frosting. This year, it is just me and my Dad this holiday, so the tradition was left up to me, probably the least artistic of all the siblings. Having said that, here is my feeble attempts at cake decorating...the finished product:Pretty comical huh? I purposely didn't show you the drooping frosting on the sides.

knowing you though...it tasted amazing!
My hat's off to you Ellie. I didn't even make one-yes, I'll be brave and admit it. I wanted to and thought about it. But I am relieved that you kept up the tradition. We just had too many sweets in the house, and with us leaving in a couple days, couldn't bring myself to do it :( But I think it turned our MAHvelously. See you in two days!
