And this is also us just being our normal selves

Waiting for the fireworks. The city puts on a show.

Neil makes great homemade vanilla ice cream. We finished off the first batch and came home from fireworks for seconds.

My sis Ann made this fabulous flag jar for me and she also gave me a flag to go with it. I added my other flags. Made a cool patriotic centerpiece. 

Shelby, Elijah, Julia, Sarah, Knox ~ Cousin Peeps annual group shot. Love 'em all!!
This is one of my very favorite holidays, and I sure did enjoy this one. We had rain and sun and more rain and then clear skies for our delicious meal on the deck and for the fireworks which were awesome.
So blessed! So thankful for my family and the love we share for one another. So thankful for the USA and the freedoms we enjoy and often take for granted every day.
God has blessed us every one!
Happy Independence Day America!
