There were amazing appetizers made by our friends, my sister's berry cobbler, and my mom's potato salad and baked beans recipes. There were guitars and ukulele's for the, now annual, hootenanny. We had snow cones and root beer floats and legal ground fireworks...surrounded by, what seemed like, everyone in our city setting off illegal aerial ones. Despite a few moments fearing for our lives and the safety of our house, it was a really great celebration.
