Lots of Good Food

We sure had lots of good food today. Why does a person always eat too much just because it is there? I think it is because there are so many things we don't usually see except at this time of the year. Holidays are fattening, haha. I wish I had taken some containers along and brought home some leftovers. Everything was so good. New Years means chips and dips next and lots of football games.

Holiday Weekend

It was a wonderful Holiday weekend. We spent the 4th of July at our favorite town, watching tremendous ground displays of fireworks, plus the aerial fireworks most places have. One town nearby had a bad accident with theirs and they shot right into the crowd and many had to go to the hospital for treatment. It is thought a rack fell on its side. Anyway, the next day we celebrated our brother-in-law's 82nd birthday with all the family present plus all the cousins and their children. There was much food, conversation, fun and laughter. A good time was had by all. Sunday we had a church service that was very memorable and truly celebrated Independence Day. All the Veterans were called on stage to tell where they served and we honored them. Several other flag activities and a wonderful message from our Pastor rounded out the service. Then we went home and took naps and had a picnic supper at home. It was a great weekend.
