One year my aunt and uncle had a big family reunion at their house on Puget Sound. This year, to commemorate the day, I am personally aiming to finish a book on the liberties we have in the US due to our representative style of government and the many checks and balances of the system. <br /><br />Thank you!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900344453710081874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-13453133937417926932021-06-26T19:42:58.844-04:002021-06-26T19:42:58.844-04:00For July 4th, we will be grilling out at home with...For July 4th, we will be grilling out at home with our grown children.

When it's possible, we get together for a cookout and to celebrate her BD; she will be 47 this year and her daughter just got married earlier this week! I love to decorate with flags, etc. inside and out for Memorial Day and carrying over through the 4th of July. It's my favorite holiday after Christmas!

They just got married in September and I still miss him but I'm happy he lives in town..for now:( My husband and I have been very happily married for 32 years. Empty nesting is not all bad, for sure, and I have a lovely and sweet daughter-in-love! My son's leaving home brought about all kinds of changes to our home since we gained an extra room. I have done lots of decluttering, re-arranging, and cleaning and I am very happy with it all. <br /><br />Karen Smith<br />homebody7@gmail.comKaren aka Trouper, Tripper, Jomohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13710637529584493313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-14623282701238659852021-06-24T15:04:02.857-04:002021-06-24T15:04:02.857-04:00We usually grill out for the 4th.

We enjoyed this dish the 2nd summer we were married at an outdoor concert in the city park. My favorite childhood treat for Independence Day is cantaloupe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. One eats the ice cream out of the melon "bowl" that is created when the cantaloupe is sliced in half.<br />Enjoy your 4th of July,<br />Leslie Leslie McKinleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082544707682903607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-52001071247028821602021-06-24T10:21:04.073-04:002021-06-24T10:21:04.073-04:00Hey Sharon, I'm sorry to hear about the change...Hey Sharon, I'm sorry to hear about the changes coming to blogger.

Some years there were fireworks and some years not, but family time to relax and just talk and enjoy a good meal was always happening. This year, I am missing both of my parents who has passed on and missing my sister who no longer speaks to me. As I type this, I am awaiting surgery on my legs due to 3 blood clots and bad varicose veins after 30 years of nursing shifts and a lot of standing and walking. I hope to be home by july3 rd and plan a cookout and reminiscing about old times growing up with my family and just enjoying us being able to gather again this year. I look so forward to decorating with my July quilts and red white and blue stars and plenty of July 4th decorated cakes and goodies!

I had not figured out how to do that yet. I will look into Mail Chimp. <br /><br />Since the 4th is on a Sunday, we will be going to church and then enjoying family over. I love the ladies comments about what they are doing. They give me wonderful ideas. I love to be creative for family gatherings.<br /><br />I have, in years past, planned old fashioned games with croquet and a ring toss with balloons anchored on the ground.<br /><br />Now we live in southern Colorado and the winds this time of year are...random and high , and one year it took our canopy with it a blew it across the yard. So our outdoor adventures are adjusted to most being indoors. Homemaker's Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689263302727625776noreply@blogger.com
