Happy 4th of July!
04-Jul-2005
Happy Independence Day fellow United Statesians! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!
Our day here in Seattle, looks like it’s going to be picture-perfect, amazingly enough. And I have been lucky enough to be invited out with some friends, E and BR to watch the Fireworks on Lake Union. (We also have fireworks over Puget Sound, but Lake Union is my favorite.) We’ll board their boat in late afternoon, find a spot and then anchor until the fireworks @ 10:00 – darkness comes late here in the northern regions of the country!
Since they are footing the bill for the gas and all things associated with the boat, I volunteered to bring the food. I’ve decided on a traditional menu to celebrate today.
4th of July Boating Dinner
Oven Baked "Fried" Chicken
Potato Salad
Orzo Salad
Greek Salad
Baked Beans
Assortment of Pickles
"Garlic" Bread (the garlic is baked into the loaf!)
Peach Cobbler with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
In addition, I’m bringing a couple bottles of wine for the upcoming WBW #11, Off-Dry! I think it’s going to be a perfect day all around! Watch for a report tomorrow or Wednesday!
Create your own fireworks at CyberFireworks or PhantomFireworks.

Good Morning Bloggers and Happy 4th of July! I promised that I would fly around spaces and leave a message for every one that I can in the two hours that I am here taking care of my mother. We are having two celebrations one small one here with my mom and then on to Great Grandmothers to celebrate her birthday and America’s Birthday. Have a Happy Canadian Day, (July 1st) to all the Canadians here at spaces. This is also the personal note from my mother. Have Firecracker Day! Stoney & Jossie
Sounds like a wonderful day of celebrating. Enjoy and I look foward to your post of the event.
Hey Ladies! Hope you both had wonderful 4ths! It was an amazing day here in Seattle – very unusual for us, but I\’m not complaining! I\’ll have my post up tomorrow. Jossie: Sounds like you had a good day – I\’m really glad! Sylvie: I was expecting a round up of something tasty from your kitchen – is it coming? :-) Now, summer has *really* started – let\’s enjoy it while we can! ~ B
