We don't do much any more. I will bake beans that most likely only I will
eat. Will serve canned beans and potato salad from Costco. Will also make
coleslaw. Will buy hotdogs and buns in case husband wants them.

We don't grill. And we only eat outside if the temps. force us out there.
Hard to say this year. Record high slated for tomorrow. We'll see how the
4th is.
