Happy July 4th

 

I hope everyone has a happy and safe July 4th.  

With the voter suppression bills that are being passed in so many states across the country and our leaders in Washington. ie Republicans for the most part, not even admitting that there was an Insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th I personally don't think we have a lot to celebrate.  We are headed into a Nazi run country not the democratic country I have known for the last 74 years.

We had Shirley and CJ over for dinner last night.  Our dinner was grilled lamb chops, potato salad from Erin, green bean salad and blueberry buckle with vanilla ice cream.  It was good to see them and to be able to hug and kiss them.  My husband behaved and didn't mention politics oned.

It is time for me to go get dh up and then make some baked beans and mix up my hamburgers for dinner today.
