...and our flag was still there....

I hope your 4th of July was filled with family, friends, love and fun.

I also hope you will do a post showing us YOUR day. :)

We had a marvelous time at the lake with our daughter and her family.
I have lots of photos....of course. :)
but I will share a few at a time so you won't have to see them all at one time.

 a view from behind of one of 3 decks at their 

beautiful, new lake house.
Well, actually there's 2 decks and a large porch.
I love her brightly colored chairs.

I LOVE her buntings on the rail, beneath the beautiful American flag.

Isn't their lake house just awesome...
I didn't take photos inside...just so many people around.
I'll do that later, tho.

 ...down the steps....
walk the plank...
to the boat house...
and out on the water for PURE FUN.

The food was out of this world.

Jent smoked brisket..

beef and pork ribs...O HONEY

So busy eating, I didn't get photos of all the other sides...beans...more veggies..

fresh fruits of all kinds...
I didn't get pictures of any of it...nor of the cakes, pies,
 STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE....
Cantaloupe that was juicy and sweet
 and served with the most darling OAR salad thingys.

The best EVER potato salad served in an adorable paper bowl...
Her paper dishes and bowls ......just absolutely perfect.
(excuse me while I say SHE is absolutely perfect, that girl of mine)

Some of the guys were drinking beer out of these adorable, patriotic cans and nothing would do but for me to bring one back.

"What in the world are you going to do with a beer can..?"

and my sweet son in law, JENT, said...
"Put flowers in it....what else ! "

GOD love him....

That's just what I did....L♥L
