Happy Holiday All!! I know many of you are from other countries and don’t celebrate this but thats ok, independance no matter where you are is a cause to celebrate. Every year I attend a 4th of July party at my friends but this year her husband is ill and the party was cancelled. He just got home from the hospital on Wednesday and is recuperating. I grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and took it over to them with all the fixings last night along with a lemon meringue tart for dessert.
I wish each and every one of you a safe and happy holiday with lots of delicious food and fun with family and friends.
P.S. Nsndo’s wheels will be here on Wednesday, so happy. That will be his independance day celebration, he will be free to stand and eat on his own for the first time in months.

As you said, independence or freedom is to be enjoyed, no matter what. I was born in India and now an American citizen and mother of 2 kids who were born here….I take pride in 4th of July celebrations.
Excited to see your post about Nando’s new wheels!

I miss my sweet girl so much, was just thinking of you. Will always love you.
Happy 4th Suzanne , I hope you had a great day and Nanfo will be so happy when he gets his whelks.
Thanks I can’t wait for Wednesday. Just fed him lunch and had to scoop him up at least a half a dozen times because he cannot stand. It will be a relief for him I am sure.
Happy Independence Day Suzanne, so happy to hear about Nando’s wheels!
Thank you Margherita, I am thrilled about his wheels. Can’t wait. Hope you are doing well.
Happy 4th! I’ve been to the States for Thanksgiving but never for Independence Day. One day I’ll get back!
One day you have to come here again and you must come to NYC and then I can meet you.
A belated Happy Independence Day to you Suzanne, I hope you had a lovely day and enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend. š
Thank you so much, it was a very nice day.
I hope you had a great day xx
I did have a good day. Thanks so much Elaine.
Did you mention a lemon meringue Suzanne? I’m on my way, don’t let them finish it till I get there.
I hope you had a wonderful Independence Day celebration.

Well since it may take you a while to get here I will make one fresh for you. Thanks David and so glad you are feeling better.
I hope you had a good 4th of July and that your friends husband is feeling better! š
Thanks Petra, he is improving.
Hope you 4th was a good one even without party Suzanne– I know your friends felt cared for with that holiday meal– Do we get to see the lemon tart??
Thanks Rhonda, I didn’t take any photo’s of the lemon tart, not sure why. It turned out so nicely, hmmm may just have to make it again.
I know Suzanne– sometimes I just want to make food and eat it! You were probably all caught up in getting it to your friends…
Hope your friend’s husband is feeling all better and I’m so happy for Nando! He must be so excited!
Hi Jasline, yes I think Nando will be a very happy boy when he can actually stand and eat without falling. Thank you.
I hope your friend’s husband is feeling better! I’m sure your friends appreciate what a wonderful friend you are!
Thank you, they are great friends and I would do anything for them. I love cooking so it was fun for me too!
So very sweet of you Suzanne to take the 4th of July meal across to your friends! Your thoughtfulness and kindness is truly inspiring! Can’t wait to hear how dear Nando goes with his new wheelchair. š
Thanks Margot, just checked and they now say the wheelchair will be here on Thursday. Can’t wait.
Happy belated 4th to you, Suzanne! Glad to hear Nando’s getting his wheels and hopefully he has them by now! Good luck!
Hi Christina, Nando will have on Thursday. Can’t wait to see how he does, hope he adapts. Thank you.
Happy belated Independence Day to you too, Suzanne! So sorry your celebration was canceled but you sure turned it into something nice for your friends. I want to be more like that. Thank you for being such a great example!
I think that if my friends husband is doing well enough we will have a Labor Day party. Look forward to that. Thanks so much Shari.
Happy belated 4th July to you. …And such a good news about Nando’ s wheels…
Thanks Chitra, I am very happy about his wheels.
Happy 4th to you and your family. I know it’s over, but I hope you had an amazing day and enjoyed yourself. I can’t wait to hear how Nando is loving his new wheelchair :).
