Let Freedom Ring

                      Stopping in to wish my American friends a wonderful Independence Day!

I'm planning to start celebrating tomorrow with my family.  We were invited over by a wonderful friend to have some Italian sausages, beef hotdogs, angus burgers and all the goodies that go along with that.  I'm looking forward to seeing some big booming sparkly fireworks in the sky! I can't wait!

I think I might bring a peach pie from a local bakery.   That sounds good!  Hmm I may have to bring some "a la mode" ice cream as well.   Getting hungry?

I love these country style picnic decorations.  I'm a city girl but with country girl roots.  My mom's side of the family hails from Creighton, NE.   I had a little taste of working on a farm and getting some of that small town charm!  

I like spending time in small towns and enjoying the people.   I am anticipating a trip to Woodbine, IA this Fall. 

Last year it was so touching to spend time with my best friend and her family.   We were there to celebrate the life of her father that had passed away.   You see, he loved to put his classic car in the auto show there. 

I loved the town, the sweet little old ladies serving chicken and noodles at the church, the craft show in the gymnasium and the time spent loving on my friends.
