Happy 4th FLASHERS!

FLASH is coming to you a day early this week because the 4th falls on 'our' Thursday and we wanted to give you a little bit of time in case you'd like to work in some of this week's ideas and/or suggestions. There are some fun ones! The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays! It seems to be less commercialized than most of the others. If it is commercialized, I say...bring it on! Sell those flags, let the stores decorate their windows with a patriotic theme, light up the sky with fireworks and everyone proudly display 'Old Glory'! YES!!! I love the fact that on this one day we all come together to celebrate as Americans. We stand shoulder to shoulder and cheer for our country! Not an NFL team, not your favorite college team, not your child's traveling team...but our country! How cool is that?  With the discord we hear about on a daily basis with regard to our government and its leaders...it is comforting and reassuring to know that on this one day in July, in the heat of the summer, we can all agree on something and that something is...We live in the most incredible country in the world! So FLASHERS...I beckon you to fly our flag high and proud, sport outfits of red, white and blue, grill a hot dog, gaze to the sky as it is illuminated with the most amazing fireworks and take a moment to seek out the face of a child in the crowd. (preferably not the one in tears) In those young faces you will see the wonder and hope that continues to make the USA the best in the world! GOD bless each and every one of you and GOD bless our country! Please make sure you take the time to read the post below from the Military Moms Prayer Group and pick up a care package to send to one of our special serviceman/woman. We also have a new post from SOS Cookies that is asking for cookies next Thursday!  Please help both groups if you can and carve out some time to let those who ensure our freedom know that you care and appreciate their brave and unwavering commitment to each one of us!   
                                                     HAPPY 4TH!



GIVE YOU CHILD A SUMMER TO REMEMBER!

FLAG ETIQUETTE
In the early years of our country, there were no rules governing the display of our flag, but on March 1, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower issued a directive that became the official U.S. Flag Code. With July 4th tomorrow, you might want to brush up on your flag etiquette. Click Here to learn more about the dos and don'ts and then fly 'Old Glory' high and proud!

You can come up with all sorts of awards to bestow. Enjoy a day at the beach while you gather some rocks for this project.  Then just pick up some acrylic paint and a pack of brushes and you are set to color your world red-white-and-blue!
 
 
SPARKLERS FOR EVERYONE!

Young and old always enjoy a sparkler or two once the sun goes down. Get creative with your display and contribute to the festive atmosphere by borrowing an example pictured here or strut your sparklers in a creative display of your own!
                          

Choose your desserts and go to town!  Our Flag cake is made up of  vanilla cupcakes. Make them out of your favorite family recipe or a box mix will work just fine! Top with
blueberries and raspberries or strawberries. The middle trifle makes quite an impression without a huge amount of effort. Click the image for recipe. Finally the mini flag cheesecakes will prove to be a favorite! YUM!  ENJOY!

  RECIPE OF THE WEEK

It seems appropriate that on the 4th of July we feature a recipe from one of the First Ladies. We have selected Dolley Madison who set the standard for First Ladies of the future with her elaborate entertaining. Prior to her marriage to James Madison, the fourth President, Dolley had been raised in a strict Quaker household. Once in the White House however, she blossomed into quite a fashion plate wearing colorful silks and satins and feathered and glittery turban style headdresses. Along with her wardrobe, Dolley was known for her wit and charm and was the 1st First Lady to host the Egg Roll on the White House lawn on Easter. Here's one of her recipes.

 

DOLLEY MADISON'S CARAMEL ICING

Ingredients

                               Brown Sugar     Butter     Light Cream   Vanilla                                 

 

Directions 

 Mix well: 3 cups brown sugar, 1 cup light cream and 2 tablespoons butter. Put mixture in the top of a double boiler and cook gently for 20 minutes. Just before removing from stove, after the caramel has thickened, add 1 teaspoon vanilla and stir constantly. Remove and cool before icing a cake.
