Red, White and Blue!

Independence Day is just over a week away. That means backyard barbecues, picnics, parades and of course fireworks! How will you be celebrating the holiday? We’ll probably just grill some burgers or steaks on the grill.

I remember as a young girl watching the scout troops, police cars, fire trucks and the school bands march by in a long parade, the drummers drumming and the baton girls twirling their batons, tossing them up and catching them again. After that we’d go home or to a park and have a BBQ with chicken, hot dogs, burgers, salads, corn on the cob and various snacks. The kids would have soda and cool aid and the adults would have beer. Those were fun days!

This year my husband and I will probably just grill some burgers or steaks and have a few beers. He enjoys a bottle of wine once in awhile and considering how hot it’s been lately he’ll probably get some cabernet blanc or pinot noir, two of his favorites. Our children are grown now with kids of their own. I imagine they’ll our daughters will get together for grilling and take the kids to see fireworks somewhere. We used to watch them every year, but for the last two years our small town hasn’t been able to afford it. Of course we can always count on a neighbor or two to set some off.

Since we’re talking about the 4^th of July let me tell you about the newest addition to our Freedom Collection of candles. The 4^th of July was inspired national anthem and is a specially designed 3-layered red, white and blue candle with a label honoring those patriots who fought in the War of 1812. It is a symbol of strength, honor and determination. One our countries best selling colognes, Ralph Lauren’s Polo was used to create a new, masculine fragrance. It has a refreshing blend of leather, patchouli and tobacco with hints of spiced herbs. Every breath you take of this scent will energize you!

We’re glad to add this wonderful scent to our Freedom Collection, joining the American Dream, American Strong and the American Pride candles. Why not take a look at all four of them now? Enjoy!
