Before I debrief my all American July Fourth Family weekend Wonder Years style I want to send a warm birthday wish to the original Yankee Doodle Leon, Howard celebrating the anniversary of his birth on July 4th with Strawberry Shortcake and whip cream.
Hiking up to the highest point in New Jersey which ironically enough is located at Highpoint State Park in Highpoint, New Jersey. No one ever accused New Jersey of being original. Following that with a 50's diner and a stop at a roadside farm for some flowers, it was a true boyhood dream to spend the day with Dad, ala John Mellencamp style.
Saturday was a true family bar-b-que for the ages. Of course I only say that because we don't typically do the family style anything. Howard, Lisa Jean, Dad and I enjoyed a true backyard roast except for David hiding in the room with Lady (the dog) disavowing knowledge that he actually has a family.
Shik kabab - Chicken, shrimp, zucchini and pepper style
Steak
Corn
Grilled Vegatables
Fresh Iced Tea
Salad
Yummmmmy and of course cherries and strawberry shortcaked
Follow that up with a Yankees win (Mets always lose) and you have a true Jersey Fourth of Jersey.
Suck it Kevin Arnold.
