4th of July Preparations

 
In the past we've hosted some SERIOUS 4th of July parties.

This year...not so much. In fact, I heard my husband say "We're only lighting books of matches in the intersection this year". I HOPE he's kidding.....

We pulled things back. 15 people verses 30-40. And fewer fireworks. I think my husband will approve.

(Still trying to figure out when HE turned into one cranky old man.) 

Cole and I bought the MOST important goods...

Some one has to take control....right?

And we bought drumettes & wings to smoke in the new BBQ smoker, sparkling water, tons of Farmer's market goods...we might have fewer guests, but they will be well-fed guests!

Then we went thrifting...with a VIEW!

And we SO got the goods.

Picket fencing to build my on-the-road space

Barn house stairs! I have wanted that for our home forever!!!

We had a good day. For sure...

And at the farmer's market we bought flowers and mixed them with our garden roses....I love the summer!

And then...a little grown-up fun! 

Portland in the summer never fails to provide activities. 

Tomorrow, Hood River? Beach? Only tomorrow will tell!

Cheers to a happy 4th of July preparation to you.

If you head to Hood River, give me a shout! :-) Happy 4th to you. Those picket fence parts will make a great on-the-road space for you!
