As they say in Ireland, "Happy Independence Day!"

Happy Fourth of July!  I know this post is a few days late but I have been sick and so just getting around to posting it.  Over the past 2 years we have spent all American holidays with our expat friends Dave and Betsy which was a real blessing.  This years 4th of July was our first holiday without them since they are now back in NY.  So we invited over a few friends for a BBQ.   We also planned on lighting off some fireworks but Sunday brought Irish gale force winds and though they had let up a bit by Sunday night it was still not safe.  Even without the fireworks it was a blessing to have dinner with our European pals who put up with our American flag napkins, Elvis on the stereo, and a slew of typical 4th of July food.  It was so cute to hear each say "Happy Independence Day" as they walked in the door!
