" PEACE TO YA, BABY"  ♥
 ♫♪ I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy...
born on the 4th of July....♪♫ ♥
written in 1942 by George M. Cohan...
If you haven't seen the movie, with James Cagney,
I HIGHLY recommend you see it.
It is one of those GOOD FOR THE SOUL movies...
Mr. Sweet and I have it recorded and we watch it EVERY 4th of July.
I really ♥ using my beautiful LIBERTY BLUE dishes for any patriotic table setting.

 .....just before we put MOUNTAINS of WHIPPED CREAM on
this luscious fresh Strawberry Pie..
GOD BLESS AMERICA....♥
 ...brisket and beans...♥.
O HONEY
♥♥
some more RED WHITE AND BLUEberries...









 ♪♫♪ Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star,
Sends out its radiance to nations near and far,
Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow,
With thoughts of San Jacenta and glorious Alamo. ♫♫♪


I just had to add TEXAS...with our pretty
RED WHITE AND BLUE.  ♥

GOD BLESS AMERICA,
THE LAND THAT I LOVE......
I do feel so blessed to live in this great country.
Oh, yes...we have troubles here but it is
STILL,  ♥and always will be, THE BEST !!
  

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY.     ♥

    CUTE GLASSES, and you look spectacular in them darling!The food looks wonderful, there will be no cooking here-our central unit went out and no repair man to be found on a holiday! We are just trying to survive with fans, so it will be a cold sandwich for us.

    A great holiday presentation. I have played many a game of checkers and dominoes. I am still pretty good with just a plain game of dominoes.

    I know you had a terrific 4th with your family! We did, too, and in fact, I had so much fun, I'm still plum tuckered out!!! The sun during the long parade did me in this year...even with lots of water and a big old red, white and blue umbrella..I cooked! In fact, it's only 91 hear today, but it feels so much warmer. I had plans of "jogging" late this afternoon, but I'm thinkin' maybe not til the sun goes down...and maybe not even then! :)

    I loved your previous post about board games, too, BJ. Yep, we grew up with them....and our kids played a lot. Our little grandgirtl likes Chutes and Ladders, among others. :) You're right, the electronic games are fun...but they're just not the same!

    Have a great week...and stay cool.

    L, Dana
