red, white and blue dining room

Are you sick of me yet?

 

I'm losing count of how many days I've been off of Facebook.

That's a good sign right?

 

My morning ritual has been to wake up,

grab my coffee and start scrolling through my phone.

 

Now,  I get up and look around the house for stuff to do.

Never mind.. I always did that.

 

Anyway..  Harry is happy that I'm here.

He wanted to show off his hat.

 

 

I mean, come on..

How cute is an Antelope wearing a patriotic fedora?

 

I reverted back to the old blogger format.

Thank Goodness!

~  I didn't realize we had that option.

 

It's a cool breezy morning here today and I've already been out to run errands.

My Jeep was in desperate need of a vacuum ~  did that.

 

And it's evident that I haven't been leaving the house much.

Normally my purse is heavy and the bottom is filled with loose change.

This morning..  I had no quarters for the vacuum.

There were no coins in my purse.

weird.

 

While I was out I stopped at the grocery store and made a quick stop to the dollar store.

Truth is that I was looking for tiny Halloween skeletons but I think I am a bit early because all they had was patriotic and summer stuff.  : )

 

 

 

And..  speaking of patriotic stuff..

 I added a few more patriotic touches around the house.

The dining room is feeling festive in red, white and blue.

 

 

It's a pretty simple tablescape.

I added a few sparkly rockets to the chandelier that really shine in the hue of the battery operated lights that are on the table.

The shelves are filled with more red, white and blue.

 

I figured I'd use my necklace as part of the décor since I only wear it once a year on the 4th of July.

 

 

Thank god for special days and celebrations.

 

 I am off to clean up the kitchen and bake some Pear Custard Bars.

It's an old recipe that I've made many times and they are always a big hit.

 

I'll share the recipe this week. 

 

 

Happy Tuesday Friends.
