Independence themes
Happy birthday, my fellow Americans! Don’t forget to read the birth announcement today! Many of you are setting off fireworks illegally today. Just tell the police officer giving you the ticket that you’re celebrating in the spirit of the holiday. I’m sure that will work. If the power of both remains the same, you will […]

The science behind the Wow!
Most Americans will be either watching a fireworks display or launching their own in celebration of our nation’s independence. We’ll be part of the spectator crowd.

The reason for the season
In the midst of your parades, cook outs, and minor (hopefully) explosions, I encourage you to read the Declaration of Independence. Read it aloud, read all of it (not just the part before the “offenses”), and read the names of the men who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. Happy Birthday, America. […]

Succulent Saturday
This is kind of a cheater Succulent Saturday post, because the recipe/directions can be found at Bakerella’s place. She’s the creative soul who did all the hard work, so you should go there if you want to see how it’s done. For our 4th of July get together with friends, we made this fun “burger […]
