4th of July in Florida


God Bless America



4th of July on the Beach in Florida


God Bless our Troops who gave and continue to guard our freedom to celebrate the 4th of July. Evening brings sunset and soon the crowds return for TWO FULL hours of the most spectacular fireworks that were almost as good as the national fireworks on the Mall in Washington DC....minus the thousands of spectators.




Naturally, my camera couldn't catch them~ but I tried.









Have you guessed am just returning from a great week in Florida where we enjoyed being with people we care about as well as enjoyed some of the most fabulous food I have ever put in my mouth...probably put on 10 pounds...enjoyed each and every bite....and evenings together sharing drinks and stories.

The beaches come an go with how beautiful they are, and we hit a good week. Swimming ...well we just bob around...but have to say the water clear with wonderful rolling waves, made just right for those of us who are past the thrill of being tossed around by crashing waves. We lingered until our fingers and feet signaled.


We shopped, ate seafood and found a kitty who posed.















We enjoyed ripe watermelons. OH~ how good they are.
We put together a puzzle of a design by Frank Lloyd Wright~It was neat to gather around the table. We guessed it being like a 'sewing circle' of by-gone days. Was a warm feeling of belonging.

Was most relaxing week. I hated it to come to an end. Wonderful time was had by all. Wish all of you could have been there too.

Now, back home to work on some ideas that came to mine. Nothing like walking alone on the beach to dream up lots of projects.
