Celebrating the 4th of July, 2008







We had a wonderful 4th of July, 2008. We had a family cookout with 4-H BBQ chicken. Absolutely delicious!!! Our grandson made cupcakes. I had an older copy of Country Living and these (or very similar) cupcakes were on the cover. He has wanted to make cupcakes for a week. So, yesterday was the day. Believe me, they were SO good!!

This morning, DH made blueberry topping for pancakes. These berries were from the last bag in the freezer. We are going to pick in a couple of weeks. DH also cooked breakfast. Lord, I'm glad he loves to cook!!

And last, these are several counted cross stitch pieces that I stitched last year. I had great plans to use the blue fabric for backing. As you can see, that has not happened yet. I did purchase two more Prairie Schooler patterns this past week. One is Summer and Winter Book No. 91 and the other is M*N*O Book No. 106. M is for Mermaid, N is for Nest and O is for Owl. A bit later, I will get all my PS Booklets and list them in a side bar. I am determine to own them all. I love to shop and find!

In our next post, Fonzie and I will be knitting. Fonzie was a bit under the weather this morning ... too much 4th of July! We will be issuing a special challenge for knitters. So, stayed tuned and keep those needles knitting.
