A Perfect Independence Day

Hello!

Happy 4th of July!

today was a perfect day

it started with a thrilling parade

then involved cooling off with some refreshing water

and ended with my husband cooking dinner on the grill

and very few dishes for me to clean up.

I had wanted to be super fancy and make something like this:

but, when life gives me lemons I make ...

well, lemon meringue pie

delicious, sweetly tart lemon meringue pie

yep. today was a perfect day.

how was your holiday?
