Holiday

Just when we got use to the way it was, it's changing, on a holiday weekend!  We have already been warned that the road construction is already going to delay travel to our destination, now they're throwing a lane switch in on Friday, the day that everyone is trying to get out of Dodge!  Grin and bare it, you've been forewarned.

It's not 4th of July without fireworks.  We had a couple of big boy fireworks, and then quite a few of little kid sparklers and things.  Of course it was my job as Dad to light off all the fireworks.  Which in turn, made typing today somewhat painful.

It's the ultimate day to be an American, and it only happens once a year.  You better get it right.  Here's the things you absolutely need.  If you don't have it, man badge revoked.

1.  Brats or some other red meat - Not chicken, not hot dogs, and for God's sake no veggie burgers!  July 4th everyone eats red meat.  Vegetarians don't get to celebrate.  Case closed.

It’s hard to be a good father, but it’s easy to be a lousy father since even bad mothers at least have to endure nine months of pregnancy and 27 hours of labor.

Ok, who else will be eating egg salad sandwiches for the week after Easter and be blamed in the office for passing gas?  Here's an easy way to use up several hard boiled eggs in one shot.  Devil them!  I LOVE deviled eggs and usually only get them as hors derves at parties.  This Easter I'm going to take Taste of Home's suggestion and devil them.  Some people will include  bacon bits, some use horseradish, still others will throw in some pickle relish, what's YOUR secret?

I'm half Irish, so of course I want you to celebrate St. Patty's day. However, I received a press release about the amped up law enforcement that will be out tonight and tomorrow and some VERY sobering facts.  I want you stay safe, so I thought I'd share.  Thank you to the Duluth Police Department for reminding us to be safe!   Celebrate in moderation, or better yet, get a designated driver.
