And finally, Ol' Glory (cake style)!
Nothing says 4th of July like making an American flag cake! On our recent trip to Ghana, we found frozen strawberries and we knew back then what we'd use them for! Freeze-dried blueberries make the stars and whipped cream icing...yum! Even made some homemade vanilla ice cream...low-carb version so it wasn't quite as tasty as the real deal from home, but it was still fun to have. All of our houseworkers get a kick out of watching us celebrate (we like to make a big deal of holidays). In Benin, they pretty much just have 2 holidays...their Independence Day (Aug 1) and New Year's Day. We have enjoyed the day, being with family, missing our families in America, even listening to patriotic music (to hear Tori belt out, "It's a grand ol' flag, it's a high-flying flag...." is priceless!) We hope you took time today to celebrate and praise God for all the freedoms we enjoy, not to mention our freedom in Christ.-Rockin' Randall
