Hope you have a happy 4th

I really don't have time for my usual blah blah but I just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a safe and Happy 4th of July!
I am having my usual huge cookout party. We start in the afternoon and go well into the night. Over this last week people that will be coming to this party drop off their bikes in my garage so on the 4th after we cookout, play in pool,and bathe in OFF, we all hop on our bikes and ride down to the fireworks. It is so much easier biking than fighting with the traffic. Once the show is over we ride back here and sit around the fire pit and eat dessert while the traffic around the city calms down. The timing works out great so none of my guest are trapped in traffic.
No late night net surfing for me tonight or I won't get my TO DO list completed. I already have the potato salad completed and the brownies are in the oven and I will start the homemade salsa next. Oh my goodness the brownies are making the whole house smell wonderful and I believe I am going to have to taste test one as soon as they get cool enough to not burn the roof of my mouth. So this years dessert is a brownie served with homemade ice cream and homemade Carmel sauce. (yes I said homemade) Now before you going thinking I am some kind of super hero that can pull all of this together without a problem and still work the nine hours I did today please note that I have been mastering this event for many years now and I have a wonderful husband who has run to the grocery store twice for me, plus I am a type A personality so I have list everywhere. lol
Hey there goes the oven timer so back to the kitchen I go..........
I hope you enjoy the holiday weekend.
Happy 4th of July!!
