Happy Birthday, America!!

On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and democracy was born.
Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the "land of the free and the home of the brave" so they can begin their American Dream.

We celebrated our country's 236th birthday our FAVORITE way . . . FAMILY, FRIENDS, FOOD, & FUN!!

The Bowens Boys are always so FESTIVE!!
(They get it from their mama . . . )
My parents' place out in the country -
so beautiful, so peaceful
(where many of our summer family gatherings are held)
The grilling station . . .
. . . being manned by the men!
Hamburgers? Check.
Fish? Check.
Hushpuppies? Check.
Hotdogs? Check.
Not shown are the ribs, pork, wings, salad, baked beans, potato salad, fruit salad, slaw, corn on the cob, etc. etc. etc.  
Yummy!!!

The Spread
