When I
reminisce of the Fourth of Julys of long ago when I was younger, running around
in a smocked dress and monogrammed underwear, I always remember holding a
sparkler way too close to my face for comfort with a popsicle hanging out of
the side of my mouth. I’m glad to say I didn’t burn an eyebrow off with a
sparkler – although a missing eyebrow came later in college one sleep deprived
when I shaved it off with a razor by accident {yes, that can really happen} – I
guess karma came around…upside: I discovered eyebrow gel and pencils because of
that unfortunate accident.
Question
of the hour: Would it be summer without the popsicle? I think not! The Fourth
of July is like the epitome of summer; if summer were a book The Fourth of July
would be the climax of the book. Since the Fourth of July is the day that
summer is basically defined by all summer favorites and summer classics must be
fit into this one day. For the Fourth of July pools, fireworks, hotdogs, and
popsicles are a must!
This
Fourth make your fourth of July pop with some very festive popsicles. P.S. the
watermelon pops are my favorite.
