Little Ms. Independence

Happy 4th of July, Reader!

I have the day off from Tiny Town - hooray for Independence!

So far I've spent the day sleeping in, making the topping for my most delish and patriotic-colored blueberry/raspberry jello with whipped topping treat that is going to a party later.

I am dreading stepping foot outside as I've been warned that it's a scorcher.

I'm still in my jammies. That's how a day off should roll, Reader.

Some would call it a boring day. I call it fantastical.
