So, the 4th of July is nearly here, a day to remember how we became an independent nation. A great day in American History. So what do you plan on doing on the 4th of July?

I'll be with my family, having loads of fun, cooking flame broiled burgers and chicken on the grill and setting off a few of those wanna-be fireworks we can get from the local fireworks stands or Walmart. I would like to go to the beach but am not too fond of the sun hitting me so hard and can't stand the idea of having to wake up so early in the morning just to find a nice parking and a spot on the beach. I probably won't be going to any fireworks events because I am not much of a crowd person. Besides, the skies will be lighted up no matter where we are and we will set up a light show of our own at home.

So lets start getting ready folks. The 4th of July is only 10 days away and counting. Bring on the food and lights.
