I am wishing you all a happy 4th and want to THANK all of our veterans and soldiers currently serving for preserving all the wonderful freedoms we enjoy. Since we don't have a deck yet:( I decided to revisit my table (one of several) from last year to help celebrate and show off our patriotism!!! I am so blessed to live in this country.  This table is FULL of patriotic love! The centerpiece is a vase of BLUE hydrangeas from my yard. I have been going over tyhere and cutting them, there are 10 bushes of them at the old house!!!! The white lanterns are very versatile. I placed a red votive in them for the 4th.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZZAcpvd07bQvXzlzOOlJqAmDMyunYQ3Ey85IRzyKF970rS37lJ5YIwL79XDO958PmwLQnsPiAb6AkC5wh4Itczilb78GPVnWfh5YZJnTXuz5zILAsxFXTCZAyDmjJZlYNiTmKJbjBPHlM/s1600/IMG_7781.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZZAcpvd07bQvXzlzOOlJqAmDMyunYQ3Ey85IRzyKF970rS37lJ5YIwL79XDO958PmwLQnsPiAb6AkC5wh4Itczilb78GPVnWfh5YZJnTXuz5zILAsxFXTCZAyDmjJZlYNiTmKJbjBPHlM/s640/IMG_7781.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgl1-BuNrKiwQMzpouBAeaW4lIQxvjL5gQfspxy9S5iUZUJGv1E16dZ9124MnkUhlkxfTDG889YuxP5x26b8CNrT_08BaGH3VqI8BEaK-w6RWo9szXFjHAhYWaZoNW0-OT2KkKx3t_A1uL/s1600/IMG_7782.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgl1-BuNrKiwQMzpouBAeaW4lIQxvjL5gQfspxy9S5iUZUJGv1E16dZ9124MnkUhlkxfTDG889YuxP5x26b8CNrT_08BaGH3VqI8BEaK-w6RWo9szXFjHAhYWaZoNW0-OT2KkKx3t_A1uL/s640/IMG_7782.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The glasses are plastic but perfect for outdoor dining.

Moving things around had me decide to change the vignette on the dining room table. It is the first thing you see when you enter the house, so it is fun to change it up.

We were on vacation last week at the Outer Banks (OBX) and it was a great week EXCEPT that Joe was sick:( He didn't feel well when we left so I drove. I have discovered that I do NOT enjoy driving for 7 hours straight:) We left on Sat. and he kept getting sicker. So, On Monday we went to an urgent care clinic and LONG story short he has pneumonia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His temp when we got there was 103.9! So he is on a VERY strong antibiotic and prescription Motrin and he NOW feels much better but it took a few days. I felt so bad for him to be sick on vacation. Anyway, today I met my daughter and we did some shopping and had lunch together and I found some new SUMMER lamps for the guest room! So here we go, I am showing you a before and after and a little look around the room too. Here is the before: I do like these lamps but wanted to lighten up a bit for Summer!  And, since I have some shell pictures in here I thought these would work.
