Are you feeling inspired? One of the nicest things about the Fourth of July is that it comes with built-in entertainment. If you have fireworks, sunshine, and maybe some water to splash around in, you’re all set. Anything else is gravy. Between you and me, I’m happy with some potato salad and a sparkler on the Fourth. But it’s nice to know that, if the mood strikes, we can print out some ice cream cone wrappers and dress up our dessert a little bit.
