Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence DayI hope everyone has a happy and sweet July 4th celebration.

Whether you’re spending it with friends, family or just snuggling down to watch the fireworks by yourself, I hope you take great joy in marking the birthday of our country.

I’ll be washing the dog, taking some candy photos and grilling with the neighbors then piling onto the roof to watch whatever fireworks the other neighbors in Los Angeles throw up in the air for us.

I’ll be taking the day off as well, but please amuse yourself with the new Candy Forums.
