Wonderful Fourth..

Old family Flag

New and Old Friends each one
a blessing and a gift,
Thank you so much for coming!

Home Grown Veggies, the best ever

One very tasty American Flag
Moms Apple pie-deelish!







Here are a few pictures from our very wonderful day... as we thought the wind kicked up and brought much wind and ash which definitely chased everyone indoors where we continued our fourth of july celebration, it was definitely hot and we had yet another power outage albeit short this time. We decided not to go watch the fireworks in case the fire danger came up again and enjoyed visiting with our dear friends for a great time of just being together and talking. A long overdue visit and one we all truly enjoyed. We will definitely be doing that again soon :))
I miss you M, I miss you N and B... you were just missed all the way around... a different fourth for sure but perhaps next year we will be twirling sparklers and having Grandmas apple pie and ice-cream all together...
Peace to your heart,
j

Looks and sounds like a wonderful day together. I was so blessed to see smiles on everyones faces despite the fire around you.
Your veggies looks amazing Julie! Hospitality and loving others are your gifts! Keep walking with the Lord as He uses you to touch lives of those you love.

What fun! So sorry I missed it, but enjoyed so many stories from D and how the Lord has been moving in her life. The peace of the Lord is amazing upon her, despite the serious threat of losing her home of 42 years. God is indeed good and through going through this with her I am learning that the Peace of God REALLY DOES rule and reign with final authority, every thought and question that arises in our minds, when we release them to Him. So sweet. Blessings in abundance. Sue

Peace to YOUR heart, Julia!

Looks like a wonderful time together. Yes, your mother is beautiful. Yes, your brother and you look alike. Yes, I know you miss your precious kiddos. Yes, the food looks - out of this world delicious! And, yes, you are the most gracious, beautiful hostess in SB!

Finally, is that Dale in a cowboy hat? hee hee.

Love you!
