The Post About Independence Day in Review

I'm usually not a fan of the blog recap. 

Particularly when they might make me jealous. I doubt that will be your experience here, so let's review, shall we?

If Bath and Body went that route, I'd be planning a Fall wedding. Yesterday.

 

Since baking is my claim to mediocrity, we had berry trifles in a jar for each guest. You're right, they are fetching.

So how did you celebrate the 4th? Or better yet, what would make your patriotic good times different from mine?
