      Well, I haven't seen any of them before, so I enjoyed your post! I'm living through you and everybody else & envying your activity. I can't do anything due to having to sit while I'm recovering from a cracked pelvis. Have a great 4th!

        That must be killing you! I remember your post about having to sit in the car while someone else went to an estate sale! But come fall you'll be ready to run all over the place 🙂

          I sure hope so! Getting tired of sitting...oh me, I feel a pity party coming on....

          Pam, your photography is outstanding! Looks like a magazine! How do you do it? What kind of camera do you have?

          Well, thank you!!! It's a Cannon 60D. I've always liked photography, but didn't get to do a whole lot with it until I started blogging!

      For being so busy - great post. Everything looks wonderful - especially the desserts,
      I have no plans for the 4th. My dogs are terrified of the fireworks so I medicate them and stay with them. They have been setting off fireworks since the middle of May. I am so afraid because we are in a severe drought and they could easily set off a fire. But of course they never think of what could happen.

      Enjoy the fourth.

        Our dog never used to be afraid of them but then just started to get upset last year. I'm thinking where I can hide her in the house so she can't hear them! Hope your pups do OK with them this year and the neighbor kids don't start any fires (around here it's normally the adults that do the dumb stuff like that)!!!

          Pam, is your pup approaching her senior years? Our shepherd Titan, who was a wonderful police K-9, feared nothing in his younger years, to include gunshots fired right next to him, and sirens. After he retired, as he became a senior, thunderstorms and fireworks frightened him terribly. He always headed for the shower. Holding him close really helped, too.
