favorite

4th of July memory

one of my favorite memories was fireworks at the end of the street

everyone would bring whatever they had

and the "men" would be in charge

of figuring out how to make them sparkle and shine

when you're only in 2nd grade

this is a pretty spectacular thing

and let's remember

to celebrate

Independence

4th of July

"All we have of freedom - all we use or know - 

This our fathers bought for us,

long and long ago"

- Rudyard Kipling

somewhere between the hotdogs, hamburgers, potato salad and mustard

between the lake the mountains and the shore

remember what a glorious thing it is that we celebrate

ah, freedom

choice

The 4th of July

It's the 4th of July

and that means family, food and fun

and fabric

...and since it IS the 4th of July...

this month's giveaway is courtesy of

the men and women that tirelessly

defend our freedom

leave a name of someone you know

or a family member

that has served our nation

to be entered in the giveaway.

(regardless of the politics)

it's two yards of 54" wide cotton Hawaiian

red+white+blue

We're a bit patriotic in my neighborhood.

We even have an historic armed forces radio announcer on our block!

so

celebrate

the 4th of July

with just a moment of thanks

(regardless of the politics)

for the

red+white+blue

Happy 4th of July!!

It's official.

The 4th of July beach celebration is done.

Sure, there are still some firecrackers here and there

and some straggling party go-ers,

but it's done.

I hope you put your own two cents in to the celebration, wherever it was, however you did it.

I hope you made it your own.

And remember.  You don't need a once a year holiday to have family and friends cross your threshold.

You don't need a day of Independence to have the independence to do what it is you wanna do with your days.

Cook 24 hot dogs for lunch and fill the trash can with root beer on August 12th!!

Oh, yea, and remember to invite some friends...

Don't wait all year to spend the day sewing, if that's your claim for independence.

Oh, and in case you're wondering?

The pic was at 7:15 am this morning...that's why the party go-ers are 'invisible'.

Happy end of the 4th of July.

sparkle & shine

Thanks for thinking of
