:: The 4th!

Happy 4th of July!

Hello everyone! Sorry for my long absence. I feel like I am often apologizing for being away, but alas, life is hectic and sometimes blogging gets set aside for awhile. I do miss you friends and hope that life is treating you well. Hopefully you have enjoyed a lovely, long fourth of July weekend. BBQ? Fireworks? Festive red, white and blue decorating?

I am afraid I have never really caught the patriotic decorating bug, but I do like to put a couple of flags in my porch planters. It may not be much, but it's something. 

This weekend has been nice and relaxing at the cottage. I cleaned, did laundry, organized and cleaned some more. Not too exciting, but it was much needed. Sometimes long weekends are perfect for that. We did get in some grilling, movie watching and I even whipped up some yummy homemade strawberry ice cream. Delish!

Back to the real world tomorrow. It's going to be interesting trying to sleep tonight, with all the fireworks still going off in the distance. I can't complain though, today is a celebration!

God Bless the USA
