We spend 4th of July with Shauna, Brad, the boys and their other grandparents. It was hot but fun! I enjoyed my annual burn to a crisp hot dog!
Here they are watching the boy next door drive his remote control car. They looked so cute in their matching outfits!
There were more than the usual private fireworks all over this time. Probably due to the pandemic lockdown and the fact that the annual fireworks and festivals in all the cities were cancelled this year. It was kind of nice to sit on our deck and watch the show all around.
I've been doing some sewing. Mostly I have been altering some of my clothes, turning a few pairs of jeans into shorts and capri length pants for the summer. I've also made a few masks for me and Rich
The patterned one came from left over material I had from a quilt I had made for Shauna when she was pregnant with Maxwell. The dark blue one is made from an old pillow case. The material is soft and comfortable.
I don't know how much protection they offer (other than from dirty looks from people for not wearing a mask! ) but they are comfortable and washable. I would make more but I ran out of elastic and there is none to be found anywhere!
I meant to show you these in the last post.
This is a New England Style Hot Dog Roll that we brought home from our visit with Chris. They are basically like a piece of bread folded in half! You can't find them anywhere around here! I looked on Amazon and they want about $10 for a pack!
I changed the picture on my header to a sunset from Grand Haven MI I took a few years ago. They were doing some construction on the pier and you can see the backhoe to the right of the picture. Didn't take away from the beauty, though! I always try to catch at least one sunset on Lake Michigan every year.
Tomorrow we are going to spend the night at Four Winds Resort and Casino in New Buffalo, MI which is right on Lake Michigan. I'm hoping to catch another spectacular sunset to replace this header picture with!
Until the next time!
