HAVE A SPECTACULAR FOURTH OF JULY

 
Yes..... yours truly is feeling patriotic today!!!!
 
Even the doves are digging old glory!
 
I'll be out for a picnic today with friends, and have already entertained my new hunky neighbor, who just moved from Denver, (oh I didn't mention that sooner), and another good neighbor, for morning muffins and mimosas and watched our little hamlet's July Fourth parade. It's a bit cool, and hopefully the rain will hold out for my friends BBQ. Meanwhile on my last vacation, I also visited the Capital Street Duo, who have there summer courtyard all bejeweled......
 
Meanwhile I'm all set. Patriotism.check. Gin.check.Cigar. check.........
 
Have a wonderful weekend everybody~
...and for those of us here in the States, Happy Fourth of July!
~XOXO*

    1. Oh no! One of my guilty pleasures! I do like a good cigar one or twice in the summer for the year, and then that's that. I love the smell....i think they remind me of my grandfather.
