darn it...I wasn't finished. So....the corners have fringe and she added big buttons as weights for a porch table. She even added napkins and a pot holder! Oh and she wrapped the above in the cutest napkins that say "Star Spangled Summer" with the recipe for peach salsa. There is an American flag and then to top it all off there is salt water taffy! Really!?! Really?!?!?! AND I almost forgot....there is a teeny tiny mug with a candle in it. The mug says "Find joy in each day"! And it wouldn't be complete without a roll of streamer paper with flags printed on it. Winnie! It's just so over the top! Thank you so much! I have photos so now I HAVE to learn how to upload them to this thread. Amazing!! And thank you again. Hugs

Daisy contacted me with her mailing address and her package went out yesterday. I hope she has fun with it all!
My thanks to all of you who participated and left such wonderful summer memories of outdoor gatherings! hope everyone enjoyed reading all the comments as much as I did. There really are some frequent tried and true foods and activities that seem to take place no matter your age or your location. One memory I had was using sparklers and more quiet and simpler fireworks with my girls at home. My youngest was terrified of the real big fireworks that the city did every July 4th. I think the noise was overwhelming to her and she would scream and cry to go home. So, our local grocery store had sparklers and I began buying them for July 4th and let the girls light them and run around the yard and have fun. That seemed to work great. Then we graduated up to another package , in the grocery store, that had larger sparklers that were more complex and pretty but did not have that big booming noise. They worked great and the girls really loved the upgrade. So every July 4 and New Year’s Ever, we did those fireworks right out in the yard on the sidewalk .

Loved all the memories!
As a kid,my moms family always loaded up the BB Grill and food and we went to the park and ate,and played Baseball.My Step-dad was the King of Fireworks! Our whole neighborhood would sit on their porches and watch him and my brother shoot off fireworks. No girls allowed to light them but Oh how I wanted to. I got my chance when I was a grown woman!I remember they had to drive quite a ways to buy them every year.
There are many Fireworks shows to choose from in the surrounding towns. The best one is on the Millington Navy Base each year by a lake.
It's only 10 miles from us.

Marlene -- Potato salad is easy and as variable as the ingredients you want to put in it or have in the kitchen. Cut one large potato per person plus a couple. You can peel or not as desired. Boil until done but still firm; the corners may be a little bit rounded. Drain and cool. Add mayonnaise, some yellow mustard, and pickle relish. That's the basic potato salad. Many other things may be added to taste: chopped celery, tomatoes, olives, baby corn, water chestnuts, cucumber, etc.
Chill and let the flavors blend for a couple of hours.

My favorite summer get together is the Warren 4th of July party. Warren is where my husband grew up and it’s a small town get together they do every year. They always start out serving pancakes for breakfast then we all say the pledge of allegiance and do a kid parade. All kids will either ride a bike, horse, 4 wheeler, etc down the road while the parents all stay on the sides and watch them. Then they have children games and adult cornhole competitions. Then we will eat lunch which is always some sort of BBQ. After all that their fire truck comes and sprays all the kids with water! It’s been one of the funniest things I have ever done and I’m so happy my kids get to experience it. My favorite food would be the creamies they always give out with lunch! It wouldn’t be the same without it!

Don't forget the s'mores. I remember having those when ever we would go campibg which is something we always did at least one week out of the summer. My dad liked to fish and we ate what he caught. Such wonderful summer memories.
Watermelon! How could I forget that. It is a staple at our house as long as they are available.

Hay there.
How sweet of you to offer this Give-Away. What a nice idea. I really love the hot days of summer. I was born on August 5th so they are like my own special comfort. In Alabama we have all seasons but summer is my favorite. I enjoy fresh watermelons and chilidogs from a campfire....or microwave. I like to get away from the ranch every once in awhile to go meet up with my camping friends. I enjoy the garden and all its bounty along with the memories of porch sitting and snapping beans or shucking corn. My Pop had beehives and I use to rob them with him and lick my fingers. My Mom would can everything. and then she would fill the freezers (3) up to the tops. So, I was always barefoot in the gardens picking whatever was ripe. When you mentioned your bread and butter pickles my mouth began to water just from the memory. Please include me in your give-away. Hugs. and thanks for the sparks of memories. Daizy

What fun summers everyone has. I can't say I've ever been lucky enough to have banana splits for breakfast!!! What a treat Judith!
One of my favorite summer treats is watermelon. I remember as a kid having a competition with my siblings to see who could spit the seeds the farthest (outside of course LOL!) One of my favorite summer festivities is watching fireworks. And I love to see the lightning bugs. I no longer put them in a jar but I still catch a few :)
My mother in law makes a delicious broccoli salad (the shredded kind) that we have at almost all our summer cookouts. I'll have to see if I can get the recipe from her to share. It's delicious!

Winnie,
what a fun idea for a summer giveaway. One thing that has to be served at a summer picnic is watermelon. And then, of course, hotdogs, hamburgers, and corn on the cob on the grill. And with family gatherings it's always nice to have a friendly, but competitive, game of corn hole going and maybe croquet. I used to love smashing my brother's ball a long way from the hoop. Lol!

Our July 4ths started with banana splits for breakfast-- a tradition started some 50 years or so ago when my kids were little and their father worked shift work and was seldom home at night. Dinner is bbq glorified hot dogs; stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon. The past ten years we go to my sons for the Fourth and we now have the banana splits after dinner. Not as fun but just as tasty.
I didn't grow up with potato chips either, or sodas. We did get to have Bireley's on Thanksgiving. In 1952, while driving through Death Valley in July (no a/c in cars back then), my father stopped at the store in Furnace Creek and bought my sister and I 7-Ups. I thought it was our last meal and we were going to die in the desert.

Winnie please put my name in your drawing. We love to BBQ on 4th of July and of course Watermelon yummy. This year we will go to the beach a new tradition for the Fischer Family as we make new memories on our journey. I love the old red, white and blue, Americana and all summer I honor our flag and all it represents. As well as our men and women who fight, fought and have died for our flag, country and our freedom.
God Bless America and thank you Winnie for your generosity.
Big Hugs,
