I realize that most self-respecting bloggers plan ahead and have a 4th of July themed post the day of, but not this one! Instead I’m a day late and a dollar short, but at least Lar did an awesome post on the quirky culture of the very people we split from 236 years ago! Independence! I just wish skittling had caught on here and not in bowling form.

I had a lovely low key July4: brunch at Sun in My Belly, made this quinoa salad, hung out with some friends and ate leftover ice cream birthday cake at my parent’s. Is it bad that I celebrated our country’s independence with ice cream cake, didn’t see any fireworks and was just really excited to sleep in on a weekday?!
How ’bout you guys? Were you more patriotic than me? Let’s hope so!

Dearest Lar,
Do you remember how much we used to love celebrating July 4th? It’s hard to believe that we were together at the beach just a year ago. It seems like you’ve been out of this country for longer than a year! Too bad we can’t take the train down to Brighton when I come to visit and have a beach weekend. How fun would that be?
Do you have a busy weekend planned? Let’s Skype this Sunday!
xoxo, Cath

July 5th, 2012 at 3:04 amKitcath you look gorgeous in those blues! I so wish we could go to Brighton too. Not surprisingly nobody mentioned the 4tb here so I forgot about it! Tsk tsk. Such a bad American. PS hope this makes sense as I am typing this on the bus on the way to class this morning
Can’t wait to catch up! Xoxoxo[Reply]

July 5th, 2012 at 2:38 pmThanks Jamie. It used to be Lar’s, but she gave it to me when she moved to Scotland. I wish I could remember what brand. . .

July 7th, 2012 at 12:08 pmWhoa, I love that necklace and how you paired it with a simple v-neck. Ya, I definitely did not dress patriotic at all this year — I hate that the holiday fell in the middle of the week! It was hard to get into the full spirit… I too skipped the fireworks and called it an early night.
xx, becs

July 9th, 2012 at 5:43 pmI was NOT very patriotic as I wore blue and green on the 4th and saw zero fireworks (bc my eyes were shut in bed!!) but my kids did don the red, white, and blue:) You look super cute in your outfit, that necklace is major!!
