4th of July Trip

We traveled for our 4th of July celebration, and as usual we had a wonderful time. Lots of family, food, fireworks and fun!! Below, is Mom sitting at the kitchen table having a little breakfast in front of just part of the stars and stripes that decorate my sister's home. It is the perfect setting to make you feel patriotic!

In the dining room she has more stars and stripes, including the plates she has collected in her china cabinet.

In the living room more stars and stripes, including a fun flag fireplace screen, stacking boxes, stars, houses and an Americana print....heck, her table lamps are even a star motif with dark red shades!!

Because she works so hard planning and organizing all of the fun for the family, I added to her collection and purchased a Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam set designed by Johanna Parker for Bethany Lowe. They fit perfectly with her decor! Thanks Johanna!!!

It rained the afternoon we were to set off the fireworks, but we were fortunate and the rain stopped so that the fireworks extravaganza went off without a hitch! It was a wonderful way to celebrate and remember what our country's founders dreamed about for all of us, and the hope that we continue to not lose our way.

I love my family and my country!
