Let Freedom Ring

we haven't bought fireworks or went to a small town 4th celebration in years. we DID watch the original Red Dawn. KJ, Ann, & Izzy came over for a picnic lunch...they brought brats, chips, and cookies. we had watermelon, cantelope, buns, chips, baked beans, potato salad, deviled eggs, a decorated Hy-Vee chocolate chip cookie, and baked beans. a little something something for everyone. KJ's dryer has now quit. (for the love, am I right? we have very recently bought 2 new washers, HVAC and furnace, and now have to buy another dryer. $$$$$)

Izzy has quite the vocabulary and personality.
