Happy 4th of July





Well, we are heading to my mom's for 4th of July. Its become a tradition for my family to get together at a local park for the day. We barbecue hotdogs, and turkey burgers. I make my favorite baked beans with ground beef ( now with ground turkey , since being diagnosed with hbp ). Add in some pasta salad and some potato salad and you have a great 4th. This year my mom asked if we would come to her home and celebrate. Good thing , since it will be in the mid 90's today ! This will be an inside celebration with lots of AC running (lol). Last week I went to the dollar store and wracked up on some great decorations, and all for only 20 dollars ! We may go down to the county dam so that the kids can rent the paddle boats and take a ride around the lake. There is a beach nearby where there will be fireworks in the evening, but it gets so crowded now, that I am not sure we will go,especially with all of the heat. My mom took the week off, and is singing with a local choir for two services on Thursday and Friday.... so I am staying with her the rest of the week and Marc will pick me up on Saturday. I get to hear my favorite minister ( with the exception of my hubby and my friend Pam ), so I know I will hear a good WORD. Which is soo needed right now. Well, off to make the beans and pack my bags. Happy 4th of July !!!
