Good morning everyone! Well here we are, celebrating independence day! What's everyone's schedule?

I will be spending the day at my parents house, on a lake. All six of us kids families will be in attendance. My sister-in-law drove down last night with her three daughters, they are my brother Dennis' family, he is in Iraq.

I can't figure out this whole body clock thing. I should have been sleeping in this morning, instead at 3 am I was wide awake. I gave up trying to fall back asleep at 3:30, and got up. I have been productive this morning. I finished cutting up fruit, for a fruit salad, and my last batch of cookies are due out of the oven in a few minutes. I am also bringing a flag cake, so last night I baked that, and got the jello mix poured over it, and it has been in the fridge setting. I already whipped up the cream (I love my kitchen aid stand mixer, and the blueberries and strawberries are in the container, ready to got to mom's house. I'm not going to put the toppings on the cake until I get there. I think it may be a little bit to messy to attempt to transport all assembled.

Sabrina will be here this morning. She and her dogs are spending the night, and tomorrow we will be out shopping for her new condo.

Anyway, I hope that everyone has a wonderful, and safe holiday!
