Happy Fourth of July!

Every year I look forward to the Fourth of July.  This year the fireworks were more spectacular than ever.  Maybe it is because I forget how beautiful they are!

We had a houseful of guests again this year--and it was a rollicking good time.  Lots of wonderful company and a ton of good food.

Have a wonderful summer my Friends!

Red Brilliance -Guest Heart Thursday

Sissy has injured a nerve or bone in her neck, which affects her ability to move.  She can't sit at her computer for more than a few moments.  Because of that, she also was not able to come down for the Fourth of July this year.  So, of course, I watched for hearts to share--this is a heart from the fireworks display in our town.  (This one's for you, Sissy!)

It was a lovely time, but I must admit to missing my darling Sis.  I know, though, that Clytie was there with us in spirit!  Please pray for her quick recovery.  She does so many things for so many people, I know she must be incredibly frustrated.  Thank you in advance for the gift your healing prayers!

Happy Guest Heart Friday!

Firework Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

This is one of the firework hearts I caught with my camera last year.  I'm so excited about this year's display.  Our hometown celebration is so perfectly marvelous.  Every year thousands of people flood into town for the festivities.  There's a lovely waterfront with food, craft booths, live music--and then in the evening fireworks over the river.  It is spectacular!  

Have a great weekend, happy Fourth of July and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

A Firework Heart for Sissy -Guest Heart Thursday

Every Fourth of July I keep my eye sharpened for a heart for Sissy in the fireworx.  So far I've actually caught one for Clytie each time--this is the one I caught last week!  Do you see the beautiful smoke heart next to the splashing light?

Happy Fourth of July, Sissy!  I love you!

Firework Hearts - Guest Heart Thursday

In our town of Independence, we celebrate the Fourth of July in a big way.  We look forward to the Fourth almost as much as Thanksgiving, or Christmas.  This year my sweet Sister Clytie couldn't come because she was feeling ill.

So I watched for hearts to send back to Sissie, since she could not be with us in person.

My favorite is the one above.

This white sparkling heart shot over the river with its fabulous tail.

This incredibly colored heart happened quite by accident.

Do you see the giant red heart splashed across the sky?

There's a little puffy smoke heart flying in the midst of these little sparklies.

There's a heart to be seen in the middle of this beauty.

I love the glorious exploding heart at the center of this one.

Here is the last heart--do you see it?  It's a puffy blue bit of smoke.

I missed you, Sissyboo--I hope you enjoyed these hearts I found for you.  ((hugs))

Just Like the Big Boys

Waiting for the fireworks was great fun, and I happened to capture this darling photo of the little guy who wanted so to be like the big boys.
