The Fourth of July


Independence Day is more commonly referred to by the phrase “Fourth of July” and is sometimes called “The Glorious Fourth” or “The Fourth.”


In the United States, Independence Day is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britian. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States. (Source: Wikipedia)


For us here, we will have some barbecue with friends. I already marinated (Filipino style) pork chops and chicken thighs since yesterday. I bet they will taste so good. We are also planning to make some pasta salad, cucumber salad, corn on the cob, chips and dip; and I know that the Montoya’s will also bring a lot of food. My oh my, we will be grazing the whole day for sure.


Anyways, I really wish everyone a happy and a safe Fourth of July weekend. Have fun!

    Hello Katie girl, musta ang celebration? I had a grand time with my family here. This is my hubby's hometown kasi kaya, pag may mga occasion na ganito at birthdays, madami kami. Anyway, we watched the fireworks on the beach. Dun pumupunta yung mga tao to watch the display. Well, i know you had a grand celebration too.

    Just dropping by here.
