I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July.  We had both sons and wives and dgd here for most of the afternoon and for dinner. Ds #1 and dil brought Sidney's little pool so she splashed around and played with bubbles while we watched, played with her and conversed.  A perfect family day!   Ds #2 and dil went earlier in the afternoon to spend some time with my mom so I could be at home for the day and prepare.  She loved their visit and I loved having the time!!


I decided to go a little easier with meal prep.  I ordered BBQ ribs from the Honey Baked Ham company.  All we had to do was heat them in foil on the grill.  So easy!!  AND SO DELICIOUS!!  I fixed corn on the cob, a broccoli salad, deviled eggs and fruit with dip.  Dil #2 made a pasta salad and Dil #1 made a delicious banana pudding for dessert.  Ds and dgd decorated it to look like a flag (Cool Whip, strawberries and blueberries) and also made and decorated cookies.  We ate out on our screened porch.  The weather was sunny and hot, but our porch is shaded in the afternoon so it was pleasant indeed.  All in all a great day!


I've been watching tennis this morning, but need to get my act together and get over to see mother and collect laundry.  Looks like rain here....we could sure use it!

Think you just described the American ideal. Family, good food, shared love and conversation. Sounds like a wonderful day. I especialy like that DGD part.
