It's hard to believe that July 4th is just around the corner. Some would say it is the official start to the summer. The 4th of July is a time to gather with family and friends for great cook-out food, fellowship, fun, and of course, Fireworks. Usually one participates in watching a town parade or attending a town's firework display. Some brave souls travel into the city and watch the Pops play at the Hat Shell or line the banks of the Charles to watch the Boston night sky light up. Wherever or whatever the 4th finds you doing, take some time to dwell on what this holiday means. We've come a long way since 1776. Let's not forget what this country was founded on or what our soldiers have fought for and are currently fighting for. If you haven't done so, take the time to say "Thank You" to a veteran or to a family who has a family member currently serving in the military, whether it be here or abroad. As Americans we have a lot of liberties and freedoms that a majority of the world does not have. Let us not take it for granted because it can easily be lost.
In honor of our country and of our military both past and present, we created a cookie called Freedom. Cranberries, white chocolate chips, and blueberries are baked in oatmeal to make this delicious cookie. If you happen to catch us during this season, try one out. They are our featured cookie this coming Thursday at the Cohasset Market.
Thank you to all of you that have served your country, for being willing to give the ultimate sacrifice so that we may continue to enjoy the freedoms we have today. God Bless you.
Let Freedom Ring!
