Goodness… I looked down at the calendar and realized that this is going to be my only column before the 4th of July! It may look a little different than it has in years past, but I am so grateful that we live in the United States — we have so many freedoms that we take for granted. The Fourth of July is a very special day for me for another reason. I became engaged in Boston, MA, on the 4th while the Boston Pops were playing and fireworks were going off. Our groups may be smaller this year, but celebrations and food still bring us together. Happy 4th everyone!
