It was a fun day yesterday. We had a picnic by a nearby mountain lake, drove to a campground so Robin and I could look at it as a possibility for glamping next summer. By the time we left there it started raining and hailing (we were at 9000-10000 feet elevation) Meandered on our way home, stopped by the first campground Robin and I glamped at a couple weeks ago and said "HI" to the campgrounds hosts . . . the "BEST CAMPGROUND HOSTS EVER". Left them a plate of homemade cookies!
Came home, putsed around, watched the 2nd Hobbit movie while we watched the fireworks in town from the front window . . then it started raining like crazy!
Said goodbye to my daughter this morning . . . waaaaaaa! She's on her way back to her home in the Phoexnix area today. Perhaps we'll see each other again in October, when she is on her Fall Break! CJ

Posted - Jul 03 2015 : 6:05:28 PM Ceejay: That sounds like a lot of fun. Sorry about the fire works but travel does interrupt things. Our plans include supper with my sil. I'm going to use the cupcake decorations sent by Darlene, my 4th of July swap partner. I'm bringing the salad too. Should be fun to spend the evening with relatives. I'm sewing a few things for the holiday but I'm not sure they will be done by tomorrow. Happy Holiday everyone.

Posted - Jul 03 2015 : 08:20:43 AM I used to decorate a lot, but haven't so much the past couple of years. My spirit is there, however!
We plan to go to Rico, Colorado, which is a small mountain mining town and enjoy their parade and poke around there. Then have a picnic lunch and check out a different campground for my daughter and I as we plan our glamping adventures for 2016. We could stay in Rico for the fireworks, which is fantastic, however, because my daughter and SIL have to go back to Phoenix the next day it'll be too late. We'll just sit on the deck and watch the ones in Cortez. We're about 5 miles north of town but with an elevation change and we can usually see them quite well! CJ

Posted - Jun 10 2015 : 09:15:02 AM Wonderful ideas and I love the pictures these descriptions bring to my mind! I have already decorated my table with a new centerpiece. I start decorating for flag day and go right on until Labor Day. My son in laws birthday is July 4th. They don't live near so we don't get to celebrate with them but they usually come to visit right before Labor Day. Then I put it away on start working on Fall. I made my centerpiece early because my dd and granddaughters are flying in today and I wanted something that the little girls would enjoy seeing. I love to do my front porch up with patriotic decor also! And of course we fly our flag year round, weather permitting.

Posted - Jun 04 2015 : 6:01:33 PM Nicole, that sounds like just the prettiest picture! I have a tiny house, but 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays so I go all out. I use a bunting made from bandanas on my front porch along with a red white and blue garden flag, and a really cute little planter that looks like red white and blue cowboy boots. We always have flags in the yard, and I have a weathered wood sign on the back door. I have a neat Uncle Sam made from wooden spools that always decorates the table. If my daughter doesn't have to work we picnic at the town center, listen to the bands and watch fireworks.

Posted - Jun 04 2015 : 4:06:22 PM I love this question! I put out my "July 4th stuff" all summer. My shabby chic porch is done up in all red, white and blue, with a wicker chair, a rocker, and a table set. The table has a vintage red, white and blue tablecloth and my centerpiece is a white milk glass vase of flags. My planters have little flags in them. I have some patriotic wall hangings too. Inside I have a little red, white, and blue star covered bear, and little "firecrackers" my daughter made in kindergarten that I still set out. My fruit bowl is patriotic too. I will leave it all until after Labor Day, when I start putting out the fall accessories.
We usually just barbeque at home, usually just the three of us!
Farmgirl Hugs, Nicole
