~Happy Fourth, y'all!~

~HAPPY  4TH OF  JULY!!!!~

~I had planned to decorate our home for Memorial day...but that is the weekend I miscarried our precious baby :-(, so we were having our OWN MEMORIAL DAY! :-(

So 6 days later,though I was still weak, I asked 2 of our children to help me gather my Americana decor from the basement so that I could decorate.  

It really helped my heart while I was resting on the couch during those days... to see my 

Red, White, and Blue decorations.~

~On our buffet in the dinning room.~

 ~I love my little wooden bike from Argentina.~

 ~I had Fun writing these words that remind us of summer on my chalkboard.~

 ~Our antique stove in the dinning room.

The big wooden flag came from The Christmas Tree shops.  Super love that store!!~

 ~On the front porch.~

 ~On the front door.  I found this fun star at Big Lots for a great price.~

 ~Since Kimberly is a "Free girl"...and graduated from High school now....she and I have been doing more shopping together. 
And it works out great...for she buys me goodies with some of her FUN gift cards she got for her graduation! :-) ~

 ~Several friends...and even ones I've never met ... have sent us nice sympathy cards...which have meant so much to me/us!!~

 ~Aren't these "American flag canning jar platters" adorable?  I got them the recently at Hobby Lobby.~

 ~On the old wooden ice box.~

~I love our flag.  Something about the colors red, white, and blue make me happy.~

 ~On the mantel in the L.R.~

 ~Our Elijah LOVES to go digging in the woods behind our house and finding treasures. 
Most of the things he finds, I don't consider to be treasures.  :-)
But the other day he found this ROCK WITH AN ANCHOR in it back there.
I was instantly in love and asked him if I could PLEASE decorate with his treasure. :-) ~

 ~Pretty neat, isn't it?!~

 ~Our sweet little Abigail all dressed up in her red patent leather shoes, white eyelet jumper, star sweater, and "big girl" hairdo. ~

 ~We enjoyed a wonderful Lord's day at our church on July 3rd. 
God's presence was close both services.~

 ~Kimberly, RaeQuelle (our "other daughter" :-), and Sarah.~

 ~Mary.~

 ~My Sweetheart and I.~

 ~Love this man to pieces!!~

 ~A TIRED Abigail...wasn't tired in the afternoon....but fell asleep while eating her supper before we went to church Sunday night.~

Thank you, Jesus, for our country's Independence. 😊 ❤️
And for us Christians ...may we always have our DEPENDENCE ON YOU!!! 

~HAVE A WONDERFUL AND SAFE FOURTH OF JULY!!!!~
