Very 4th of July, Amber. I LOVE it. Wish you and yours a Happy and Safe Holiday tomorrow.
You too Kerry! Stay cool!
I'll give it my best shot, LOL forecast for tomorrow.... 103 and 95% humidity. Heat index of 110.
Time to bring out the sprinklers!
Happy Fourth of July to you, too! I hope you had a fun time in Florida. If anyone could have managed to transform a tropical storm into a 'theme park' vacation, it's you. miKKo
Haha! We are home now, full of sun and fun. Thank you for the compliment. BBQ plans?
Hi, AmberRose! Thank you kindly for your good wishes! No, I will be focusing on gratitude for my freedom and all the fine things America is blessed with - then visit friends - then resume the interminable Doniphan research. I hope I'm finished by Christmas. Are you Q-ing? I bet you're a great chef, too.
Not to disillusion you miKKo but I am more of a baker. My Hubby however excels in the kitchen/grill. If you need cookies/breads/cakes, I'm your gal.
We will probably Q with some friends and join some park district fun before fireworks. I am sure there will be a rocket Popsicle in there at least once!
You & yours have a nice 4th AmberRose.
Thanks Mikie!
Thanks Mikie, you too. Watch out for bottle rockets!
Happy 4th of JULY amber!
