Happy Independence Day! Wishing everyone a safe and festive Fourth of July holiday! Also, stay safe in this heat! If you have to be outside or find yourself in a place without air-conditioning, make sure you’re taking plenty of breaks and staying hydrated!

Sending birthday wishes to my husband Josh Gardner and to Andrew Wilson.
