4th of July

Thank you Lord for a wonderful day.  Although I don't have pictures to share, our day was spent in fellowship with friends, and family joined us later in the evening.  We had the "All American" picnic with hamburgers, hot dogs, brats, and homemade apple pie. Our friends brought the sides, potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, and chips.  Because it was a typical hot Florida summer day, we ate inside.  With our new dining set, we were actually able to seat everyone at the table (All 10 of us).  After we said Grace, we realized we were like one big happy family. We all said our standard Catholic blessing!  Everyone shared in conversation with the happenings in our lives. Teasing took place.  We were constantly passing food around the table.  I was amazed at how much our friends have become "family".    After, we played several games.  Laughter was had by all.  Then,  midway through the afternoon, we snacked on watermelon and continued playing more games.  Michael came in around 6:00, and left by 8:30.  Stephen and Amber showed up around 9:30 and left an hour later.  I am content and exhausted.  I am ready for a good night's sleep. :)
