July 4, 2012


I was delighted to use the shell napkin rings Monica from Texas Fiesta Ware Fan gave me.
My daughter make the table pictures. I like her 50mm lens. I made pictures   but liked all of hers better than mine.










  
Fantastic describes the ribs son-in-law grilled. They just melted in your mouth.


I didn't get the whole family in pictures because I was busy cooking etc. Activities for the last few days included walks with Granddaddy, tennis, marathon game of monopoly, watching fireworks, movies, and mostly enjoying each other and I must admit eating. Not pictured are homemade peach ice cream, first time making of eggs benedict and the kind of burgers hard to get your mouth around.  Another great time of Thanksgiving for our country, for bountiful food and family. May God continue to bless America.

    Amen to that, sister!!! Your family looks to have celebrated the quintessential 4th of July!!! Your table is really pretty. Kind of reminds me of a setting in a Colonial Williamsburg home!!! I like what you did with the centerpiece, and the shells are a great touch. I could just crawl through the computer screen for that food, too!!!!!! Glad you and yours enjoyed the holiday!

    What a beautiful table. I love the lanterns and the large shell centerpiece. And now, after seeing those ribs, I am starving at 10 o'clock. Looks like you had a wonderful meal and an even more wonderful time with family. Have a great weekend.
