What A Weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend with family and friends...
It included good food, fun swimming in the lake and paddling on the lake in kayaks...

...and of course I was able to get to a few rummage and yard sales...
Here are a few patriotic red white and blue finds!





A Hotel silver teapot, a silver plate bowl and ...



a lovely silver pitcher...







We were all decked out in our patriotic colors for the annual parade and fireworks.
Up here in this tiny Adirondack town, our Fourth of July parade is a big deal.
Not only do we have the customary homemade floats, junior high school band and kazoo band, the Veterans, the fire engines and ambulance, horses and dogs, clowns and unicyclist ....
...our town proudly rolls out all the snow removal equipment and the snowmobile brigade...
Candy is tossed out to all the children and there is much excitement and good cheer.
This year the weather was perfect for all activities!
We are so blessed!

I hope your weekend was safe and happy and full of fun with friends and family too!

Getting Ready To Celebrate

One more day to prepare for the gang...

Gorgeous day today filled with billowy white clouds against a brilliant blue sky!

Digging out the Independence Day decorations and everything else red, white and blue.

Joan of Anything Goes Here just reminded me that she is having a Vintage 4th of July Blog party so I am linking up and if you want to see more red white and blue....that's the place to be!

Took a road trip to buy some supplies and detoured to a few little shops...
...as always, found some goodies to bring home.
I will try to get those bits and bobs photographed tomorrow morning to share with you all...

Have a good rest and a wonderful Thursday!
:)
