Our Fourth of July 2024

Happy 4th of July 2024!

Since the girls were committed to dog-sitting/house-sitting, we weren't able to go far or out of town.  The girls did get to come home around 11am for the rest of the day which I was glad.

I spent the morning cleaning and making food for our meal.

I just love my new patio set!

Eric finished a couple honey-do's for me that morning.

He installed our new flag pole on the front of our house.

Here is my completed project for this part of the pantry.  I got these baskets at Dollar Tree.  Labeled them with my label maker. Keeps everything neat and together.  Easy to pull out and find one item.  And keeps the look more together.

It decided to rain.  I was fine enjoying it from the inside. :)

Eric also hung the hummingbird feeder.  We will see if it brings any hummingbirds to us.

My front porch. :)

We headed down to the pool.  It was very warm and the water felt SO good.  However, there were some larger families/groups and they had their music very loud and it took all the enjoyment out of the time there.

Then it began to rain and thunder again so we got out and left.

The Martin family came then and spent some time at our home.  The kids and I played a few games.

Eric grilled hot dogs and brats.  I made dill pickle potato salad, watermelon, coleslaw, corn on the cob, and chocolate delight for dessert.  The Martins brought chocolate chip cookies, chips and salsa and soda.

After the Martins left, we watched The Patriot.
