4th of JOO-ly

For anyone with a strong sense of independence, Fourth of July would rank highly on the Favorite Holidays list.

That’s why it’s #2 on mine, just after Christmas. (Because I also have a strong sense of magical traditions.)

I do love my independence.

Like the freedom to mingle…

the freedom to torture my children…
