Greetings and happy Independence Day gentle readers. Whether you are entertaining fellow expediters at a liftgate party, having a picnic lunch at a rest area, sitting in your van at a truck stop or sharing a bottle of wine with friends under a freeway overpass, beautiful homemade table accessories add sparkle to the ambience of any setting. The proper table decorations can turn a soda cracker with peanut butter and sardines into a caviar canapé. Remember, it's all in the presentation!
I like to use common, everyday "truckhold" items to create works of art to brighten up my holiday table. For my July 4th holiday table I chose to decorate a wheelchock to use as a table centerpiece. Regular readers to this thread shouldn't be surprised by my choice of a wheelchock as the basis for my holiday decorating scheme. The common wheelchock when properly outfitted will become the highlight of your dining experience. This simple, but elegant centerpiece was created using only paper, a printer, tape, sparklers and of course a wheelchock. This time of year sparklers can be found at roadside stands across the land. If you can't afford sparklers, 3 or 4 fusees will bring some extra excitement to your table and burn much longer. A word of caution when substituting fusees for sparklers, don't let any of that molten lava stuff drip on to your canapé platter. Also if you are celebrating under a bridge, keep any fortified wine a safe distance from burning fusees and other open flames. Have a safe and fun filled 4th of July.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!
