Same thing we always do- BBQ for 30-40. Slow cooked, fallin' off the bone pork ribs slathered in bbq sauce, slow baked beans, bacon avocado potato salad, chips for the kids, corn on the cob, butterfinger cake and two fruit pizzas- one all patriotic with blueberries and strawberries and one tropical with pineapple, mango and kiwi. We have friends that come at the start and stay until well after dark.
I think that's it.....
With any luck, we'll be living in the U.S this time next year..will do the same thing, and can we come??
Every year for the 4th, i have a big party and we shoot fireworks off in my backyard with all the kids. (it never gets old !) Oh, and the menus the average grillout.
Nothing planned this year. Finally got a weather break of high 90's and VERY HIGH humidity. for the last 3 weeks.

Get back & take it easy AMAP...I hope.
With the storm in the gulf I do believe it will be raining that whole weekend. It's raining right now and if forecasted to rain thru Monday. So I will do chores in the house and veg in front of the TV and of course visit CD often.
A tradition here in my area of Maryland is to go to Antietam Battlefield for a glorious fireworks display and music provided by The Maryland Symphony orchestra. It has become a nearly all day event...people bring blankets, chairs,canopys (for shade) , and coolers full of picnic foods and drinks. It gets more and more crowded each year so, I'm not sure if we'll be going but, it is a grand event for the determined among us. A Happy and Peaceful Fourth to all....
Like the famous entertainer Fred-erick Flintstone once said "EVERYONE INTO THE PEWEL!!!"
