There's something patriotic about bandanas. So, for the 4th, we dressed up Claire in her favorite bandana and spent the day grilling at Pat Carroll's house overlooking Baker Dam in the quaint little mountain town of Nederland, Colorado. Think Purple Mountains Majesty.I think the best way to honor our rable-rousing founding fathers is to spend the day in activism and with that in mind, I made some subversive cupcakes. By subversive, I mean that each one had a little political message or an I "heart" the US. By cupcakes, I mean delicious. Anyway, at the last minute, I chickened out and took off all the political slogans. Apparently, I don't have the heart or guts for true activism. To console myself for being such a coward, I ate about 12 cupcakes. In any event, cheers to the founding fathers for their courage. What's the saying, "If you're lucky enough to be an American . . . you're lucky enough."
