Wishing you all a very happy 4th!
May your day be filled with laughter and tradition, smoldering sparklers, charred BBQ and a sweet summer drink. I hope today you are saturated in all things “American” – baseball, backyard barbeques, homegrown corn, apple pie, and good, front porch company. I hope you eat until you’re full and then eat some more. I hope your conversation and laughter are endless. I hope the only loud noises you hear are celebratory fireworks. I hope your worries are few. I hope the music is loud and I hope you dance.
And then, I hope you thank the lucky stars that you are on this soil. Here, a full belly, peace and safety, free speech, religion without persecution, education and luxury unlike any other place in the world has become an expectation not a privilege. It is afforded to the masses, not the few. I hope today, you appreciate the gift that your life circumstances have afforded you by landing you here.
For the brave warriors who fought endlessly for our freedoms, for the immigrants who tirelessly journeyed to build our rich culture, for every person who loves this country and has fought to always make it better without sacrificing its soul….thank you!
I am not always proud of our administration. I am not always proud of our electorial results. But, I am proud to be an American!
In the spirit of new experiences mixed with old tradition…here’s a bomb pop cocktail that will take you back to your youth and doesn’t require freezing or advanced prep!
Enjoy! And Happy Independence day from Life Liberty and a Little Bit of Libations!!
Stay Safe and Stay Happy!
