Happy 4th of July

It's July again -- plenty of sunny days and celebrations! Canada Day was on July 1, and I have been celebrating Independence Day since Friday.

The perfect plates and napkins for...

... a Friday night pizza on the balcony.

On Saturday I went grocery shopping, finding some American products at Aldi.

Saturday was the one of the hottest days of 2010. Perfect to spend the evening on the balcony again.

A sunshade was a must.

Ice-cream -- another must on a hot summer evening!

Then there were marshmallows...

... slowly being roasted over a tea candle.

Now on to Sunday -- the actual 4th of July. I had blueberry juice with sparkling water -- what a treat!

Spare ribs...

... and salad -- a perfect combination!

For dessert I tried the blueberry scones -- delicious!

Of course, I couldn't resist to eat a few Jelly Beans, too.

These days I really like to play Scrabble -- one day I hope to buy the American version, so that I can play with English words, too.

Happy 4th of July!
