What are you doing for the Fourth?
I’m working on my outdoor room projects & having friends over to watch fireworks on the lake!
More 4th of July Inspiration:
Hi Melissa,
Being that I love the sea, blue with white spells summer. I love those striped towels. The bike is amazing ready for a parade. The cupcake center-piece is adorable very lovely.
Hope you have a Happy July 4th…
Melissa,
The image of the decorated bicycle transported me to my childhood — complete with cherry ice pop stained lips and legs covered with scrapes from evil Knievel stunts and mosquito bites.
Have a happy holiday!
Your Friend,
Deborah
We are traveling nearly 4 hours to pick up a pony for my younger children! That will be a happy 4th!
I hope we get back in time to set off fireworks!

We won’t be doing anything for the 4th, as my younger peeps are going on a massive camp-out and the two olders will be working ): But the laundry photo made me smile, as I have layed down the law on not using the dryer this summer. I don’t know about it smelling fresher, but it’s definitely lass costly and rather pleasant on my patio for the few minutes it takes me to hang it and then take it down. Maybe we will make a few cupcakes, tho – that looks good, too!
Cute ideas and wonderful reminders!
Have a very Happy Fourth of July holiday!
I love towels and sheets fresh from the clothesline! It reminds me of when we lived in Sicily and had no choice but to dry everything on the line!
The cupcake display is so pretty and mason jars are simply wonderful for every occasion!
Have a great 4th of July ~ God Bless America!
Great red, white and blues! Isn’t that bike too cute! We’re relaxing at home just Hubby and me plan to barbecue hot dogs and steaks with fresh fruit and corn on the cob. I may even make cupcakes and decorate them with red, white and blue frosting. Today I’m getting all our flags out. Have a wonderful 4th of July!
Great ideas! Have a great 4th of July!!!

Going to see momma&daddy@nursing home :( sure wish they cud be home, with Dad on the USMC float&mom in an antique car with her WAC cap. But reality is what it is, and she’s tough! She fought her way thru 10days in ICU (3 on vent, God&all his angels intervened&changed the orders back or I wud hv lost her) & even sedated on the vent,about broke my hand when I talked to her about daddy,and sang old HankWms songs she sang to me when I was dinky&she was hanging out the sheets-“I love you, a bushel&a peck…” or when I was finishing off her baking with a “daddy pie”–“Hey, good lookin’, whatcha got cookin’…” Had to peel her fingers loose&hv the bruises to prove it! So yep,momma wore army boots, & daddy the gruff old Marine was tearfully jubilant when she came back. Have been running fever&cant go see till it breaks :( cuz cant be sure is lupus. Am heartbroken&miss’em terribly. And I PROMISED rootbeer floats! Doesnt that sound festive? :) gotta slug maalox&eat ibuprofen. :( Have a JOYOUS&thankful FREE holiday! -s-

Hi there!
I have not been by to visit in so long!!!
It’s great catching up on your blog posts…
Happy 4th!
Looks like a great party to me ;)
We always hang our laundry out in the garden when we can but today it was soaked when we had a really heavy rainstorm out of nowhere!
No 4th of July celebrations here (I’m in the UK) but an American neighbour had a huge flag hanging out of his upstairs window all day! :)
