What a 4th.....:)



As for favorite holidays...I think the 4th of July is right behind Christmas for me.

As a kid, we didn't have much more than a few bottle rockets, Black Cats and sparklers but, boy, we sure did have fun.

Plastic flatware...



.paper plates....cutie pie paper napkins...
all as much a part of THE 4TH OF JULY
as hamburgers and hot dogs.


We started the 4th with a tasty breakfast...
some of you might remember that breakfast is, by far, my very favorite meal...
and I love variety.



Toaster Strudel....

bacon.......



 RASPBERRY 
this time...:)

Then Mr. Sweet grilled weenies and we had 
our son and his family over for 
JULY 4TH 
HOT DOGS and all the trimmings.

I didn't get a photo one of this glorious occasion.

and...I only got a very few of the 
EVENING of the 4th....


Several of the neighbors got together and we had an awesome brisket and all the trimmings dinner...
and THEN....
the FIREWORKS of a LIFETIME 
started..


 Son, DAVID...and ...KATHY
 My camera doesn't take good photos at night....especially of fireworks so no pictures
of the fun times that night.

  
 Daughter, STACY, and her crew went to POSSUM KINGDOM lake 
for the holiday weekend...
and they are having such a good time. 

We are blessed to have had another fabulous holiday with family and friends.

Hope you had a great time, too.


XOXO

  2. I will say sparklers are often pretty dumb nowadays. Most of the ones we have used don't even spark they just have a centered spot where it glows until the fire is gone.

  17. I enjoyed playing catch up here this morning. Your reflection post was wonderful. What a fantastic capture of the flag.
    Your Independence Day celebration looked wonderful and FULL. We were talking around our picnic table that we used to make a fuller day of it growing up. We would start eating in the morning and eat our way to the fireworks.

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
