4TH OF JULY-- THE BEGINNING

We woke up to a gorgeous day. The sun was shining, a slight breeze, the wind chimes singing. It's gonna be a warm one though!
Some swimming mid-day at Mere's parents. The water was perfect.

A good game of Ticket To Ride and some lunch.

What would a holiday bbq be without some potato salad?

Back over to our 'abode'.
Dessert ready. Well, just the accompaniment to the star of dessert: homemade ice cream.

Red velvet cupcakes, patriotic style.
btw: Have you seen the newest thing in the baking aisle in the grocery store? They now have frosting in a tall can with a push spout like whipping cream. I used my pastry bag, because that is what I'm used to, but what a great idea. I'm going to try it some time.

Yup. I think we're ready for a holiday bbq.

Everything looks fantastic and festive! Love those plates. I think I saw a few left on Saturday. I will go back and see if they have anymore if you want them. Let me know.
