30 Jun Yankee Doodle!
I LOVE me some Fourth of July!! Yes, I am a yankee doodle and this holiday makes me feel happy & patriotic!
Maybe it’s the berry-flag-cakes. Cooking isn’t my thing. I just love them / those who make them for me.

Perhaps it was growing up Nation’s Capital. The White House and all the iconic memorials, especially Iwo Jima. I remember one 4th (involving a cold chicken and brownies picnic yum!) with spectacular views of the fireworks from this spot. It’s actually in Arlington, along the Virginia side of the Potomac and everyone should spend a 4th of July there once!

Maybe it was the summer our friends kept a boat downtown in Chicago. Boat people love the 4th!! Do you think this lady thought it odd I was taking pictures of her boat flags?? It doesn’t get more festive than this.
My all time favorite photo from that day heading back into my favorite city!
Perhaps it’s my flag envy. I don’t own a flag to put out and every year say I am going to buy one. My current crush is actually over owning a SWAG. Abe Lincoln here I come. This one is by Grand in Road ($39.) Maybe after the holiday it will be on sale??
And finally this is holiday now has extra special meaning because it’s the weekend that two years ago I picked up Trooper (the rescue daschund!) We were both a little suspect of each other at first but now it is pure.straight.up obsession…for the both of us.
Happy Fourth of July to you and all your Yankee Doodles!!
