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 4th of July let me
tell you about the newest addition to our Freedom Collection of candles. The 4th
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!
