Wonderful Fourth of July

We had a great time yesterday for the fourth! We went to our daughter's home and had barbecued ribs, potato salad, baked beans, cucumbers and onions; home made ice cream, brownies and my cherry pie cake. It was all just wonderful! We stayed until almost 10:00 watching the fireworks. Scott, our son, swam in their pool. We watched. There turned out to be nine of us.

Our daughter learned they are starting their new home two weeks from Monday. She is so excited! I don't blame her. She is 51 and has waited a long time to have a new home.

Scott is taking us out to dinner this evening at the Chop House. That is good of him. We went to Joplin this afternoon and he bought some decorative accessories for his apartment and a new shirt as well. Eventually he will get his apartment fixed the way he wants it.

He is leaving tomorrow morning to go home. It has been a very good weekend!

Hi Margie, Thanks for your comments. Your sons are definitely heros in my eyes. I am so thankful to these young men and women who have served our country. It sounds like you all sure did have some good food over the weekend. I am glad your husband's eye surgery went well and he is recuperating nicely. Have a good week.
