Happy Birthday America!

 The 4th of July is always a blast where I live. One starts to smell the BBQ grills grilling all over the neighborhood and the sight of summer is everywhere.  The parks and rec pools are open and kids in clusters with their towels, instead of walking to school are walking to the pools. Can I come?

We love walking throughout our town, and in our walks lately we've been seeing the signs of our country's independence all around...

Yep, the flag is waving everywhere this time of year!
Even a vintage truck is celebrating!
Thanks to Micheals craft store everyone stocks up on banners and flags!

But I love to do the other thing. Bake! 

I simply love these very tasty sugar cookies.

They have their own Independent taste!

Below is the link for celebrity chef Alton Brown's Sugar Cookies, of course I couldn't take the credit!
They are always a hit!
