To The Red White and Blue

~ Freedom lies in being bold.~

Robert Frost

 Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men

and so it must be daily earned and refreshed

- else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.

~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

~ Freedom is never free. ~

 The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.

 ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy

 And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you

 -- ask what you can do for your country.

~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy

~Going to be making this for the weekend~

Red White and Blue Dessert for the 4th of July

Super Easy Fruit Parfait

4 C Strawberries, washed and sliced

4 C Blueberries, washed

1 White Cake Mix, baked and sliced into 1" cubes

and some cut with a star cookie cutter for garnish

2 Containers Cool whip, defrosted

In a clear glass container large enough to hold 12 cups volume; layer strawberries, blueberries, cake, and cool whip in 1 inch layers. Garnish as desired.

Refrigerate until serving.

I found some star shaped marshmallows at Wally World in red white and blue colors that will look really cute in this recipe too.

I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free...

and other people would be also free.

~ Rosa Parks

Have a blessed and safe holiday weekend!
