OUR 4TH WAS WONDERFUL...HOPE YOURS WAS TOO

Our friend, Carol, invited everyone over for a 4th of July cookout. What fun! Here's the "Hostess With The Mostest"

A few of us gathered for a photo

Tania, Jeanette, Barbara, Me and Carol

More fun in the kitchen

The guys got suckered into volunteered to man the grill. Here's Garrett, George, Dick and John

They grilled up several kinds of sausages and hotdogs. Yummy! There was all kinds of toppings, including sauerkraut, peppers and onions, mustards, etc., but my very favorite was a mango kiwi salsa. Good Golly Miss Molly...it was fantastic! Lots of salads, baked beans, potato casserole, etc. I made dessert.... Tina's Chocolate Chip Cake served with vanilla ice cream. It was a hit...again. Everyone loves it, so I'm always expected to bring it whenever we all get together. I don't mind...its easy and always good.

The party started at 5PM, so by 9PM everyone headed out to watch the fireworks. They were everywhere...the beach, the bay, the marina, the village. We took the golf cart to the party, so we just watched some on our way home. The sky was full of them all the way home. So pretty.

I hope your 4th was fun too. Thank you Lord for good friends and wonderful neighbors.

What a fun time! We watched the fireworks from a friend's house who lives on the Missouri River, the capitol was in the background... so lovely!

I love the idea of being able to take a golf cart to your friend's and drive home... that appeals to me on so many levels!

We had a rather quiet relaxing day. It was very enjoyable. The last post you did was so cute. I love the picture. I know how you feel. Some days i think I could just spend the whole day on the computer. Some days I think my Hubby thinks I do.
Hugs,
Charlotte
