The 4th of July was a lot of fun this year. We spent the whole day with one of the girls' favorite friends, Dean, who's mommy is one of my favorite people as well. After watching the Piedmont parade on a tummy full from the pancake breakfast fundraiser, we caravaned out to the County Fair where, besides looking at livestock, milking a pretend cow and riding the kiddie Ferris Wheel, we gored on corn dogs, garlic fries and artificially flavored shaved ice. Dinner wasn't much better --- we showed up at Lydia's and Carlos's and ate leftovers from their BBQ lunch - mostly the leftover birthday cake and a few asparagus spears. You've got to have at least a couple of really good bad-habit eatting days a year, right? Heck, this IS America!!
