4th of July prep

by Linda Hopkins

We hosted an annual 4th of July party for many years. About 10 years ago, we stopped and instead spent the holiday in Wisconsin at the Log Mansion.

We aren’t going to Wisconsin this year because we are leaving for England and Ireland in a little more than a week.

Since we’ll be home for the first time in a decade, I pulled out all my Red, White & Blue and invited a few friends over.

I forgot just how much stuff I had! The gathering is going to be small.

But the American Pride will be everywhere!

This is the only little space that is decorated… photos will follow after I get the rest of it put together.

Project #1 – replace the dead ivy in the wine barrels with RW&B flowers!
