Happy 4th of July!!
Happy Independence Day!!!
It's a very calm day around here.
It's about 1000' outside and myself along with 3 dogs,
are sitting very comfortably inside.
Paul's about to grill us some dinner.
We're super fancy this year..
it's Steamed shrimp on the grill and hot dogs.
Yesterday I made a big batch of shrimp and macaroni salad.
Boom that's it!!
And these cupcakes ..
that I bought from the store.
However, I did insert a tiny flag into each one,
that was hard work.
The other day I attempted to make these cute firework marshmallow pops that I saw on pinterest.
First of all.. Pinterest is annoying.
Seriously.. how did "theirs" turn out so pretty while mine were a hot mess.
Hence, the top shot photo.
These side by side to the pinterest version, are a joke.
I made them for my neighbors kids who didn't seem to mind that the chocolate was lumpy and that the marshmallows didn't line up or stay up perfectly on the skewer.
I love kids!!!

Speaking of kids.. One of mine was giving me a hard time today.
Complaining about "people" not staying home during a pandemic.
I know she was taking about me!! hahaha.
I stayed inside for 4 months!
So what that I snuck out to Kirkland's yesterday.
I had to get my smell on.
If you've been to a kirklands .. you know what I'm talking about.
The place smells really good!!!
And they sell cute stuff!
Like this picture that I got on Clearance for $6.00
Go figure.. I was on a roll and my curser stopped working. I can't even find it.
It's so weird. where'd it go?? lol
I'm gonna keep going anyway.
See my new bench?
I've been searching for an old bench for a while.. and as luck would have it, one of my neighbors was selling this one at a yard sale for $10.00.
SOLD!!!
I love it just as it is.. tattered and worn. This is just a practice set up, I'm going to have some fun with this.
Picturing buckets of sunflowers, a blanket, pumpkins... okay, I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
Hey.. My curser is back.
Yay!!!
This laptop is junk.
That's it for today.
Hope that you all have a wonderful Holiday.
God Bless America!!!!
Love from me.....💕🍀🙏🍀💕
ReplyDeleteDon't know your regulations there.... About "going out." But if a store was open, I suppose it's allowed. Did you wear your mask and keep social distancing?
ReplyDeleteSimple eats here too! Hot dogs on grill and potato salad, on home grown lettuce. Not grown by us... Grown by son/family next door. Going to have ice cream sundaes for dessert. -smile-
They (next door) all had a great time in our pool this afternoon. So it's been a simple, but nice day.

We had a quiet fourth. My son and his family left early that morning because there weren't any fireworks displays in our area -- although plenty of booming going on with people doing their own thing. So we did a July 3rd bbq, and yesterday I cleaned the house all day! Having the place back to normal felt like Independence Day!
ReplyDeleteThat bench is awesome and going to be a great thing to decorate for the different holidays!
ReplyDeleteLove your 'new' red bench.
ReplyDeleteYou always crack me up! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour Fourth sounds perfect.
I agree Pinterest is annoying, but I thought your dessert looked amazing.
THE BENCH IS AWESOME. Yes, I just screamed that at you.
I sneak out occasionally (always wearing a mask). Pinterest ideas never turn out right for me either:) If that bench goes missing, yep I probably took it:0 Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
