Fourth of July Mysteries

Another holiday, another list! Fourth of July (Independence Day) is one of my favorite holidays. I'm from Philadelphia, the birthplace of the nation (or so we claim). In all of the mysteries below, the Fourth of July plays a major part. Even if you're not celebrating the Fourth of July, you can celebrate this great group of mysteries! Something for everybody's taste!

Thank you for including Some Welcome Home. It's been one of my secret dreams to be included in someone's 4th of July reading list. Sharon
