Ohhhhh my goodness…did I ever love this one!!
Yessss, it had letters on the back that just encouraged me to be a big cheater.
But July is coming up fast so that became my excuse…
to not dilly-dally around.
Come on…
admit it.
Isn’t this the coolest 4th of July puzzle you’ve ever SEEN?!
So, we had this nasty patch on the side of the driveway that didn’t grow anything but weeds and ugly stuff and was just creepy and embarrassing.
Till one day, my cute boy came over and tilled it all up…
and dug a big, deep hole, and filled it with cement…
for the new flagpole that Rhen gave me for Christmas!!
Christmas AND Mother’s Day all at the same time! WAHOOOO!
They even hand printed it for me!
Awwwww…I LOVE it!
Thanks boys!! You’re making one of my dreams come true.
It seemed only fitting that my most patriotic son should be the one…
to hang our big, beautiful flag.
I love that it is on the side where the business parking light is. It will shine on our flag all night long.
But the best part…
is the view from my kitchen window.
Love. Love. Love.
And that, my friends, is a true story.
Ahhhh yes. We’re a patriotic bunch, us.
Yep.
We seem to have a never ending supply of shirts to celebrate the day.
It’s a good thing too, because we have several “days” that seem to warrant a little red, white and blue action going on.
We have Memorial Day…
We have Summerfest…
we have the Freedom Festival Balloon thingy…
and, you know–the actual 4th of July.
No matter WHAT it looks like–
we’re not messing around.
Heh, heh.
Remember getting those little packs of paper strips with one sticky side and one regular side? We’d spend all afternoon making them into the most lovely paper chains to hang around the room. My daughter also makes beautiful count down paper chains for people that have a big event coming soon. Point is–we LOVE paper chains around here!!
So, when I saw a pattern for a more PERMANENT “paper” chain to crochet–I was smitten!
This is the first thing I have made in a long, long time that actually made me giggle as it was coming together. Isn’t it adorable?
The minute this one was finished and hung, my mind started spinning with other color scheme posibilities. Autumn, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter, Valentine’s Day, Easter. Groundhog Day. Harry Potter’s Owl’s Birthday. I could be doing this FOR EV ER. Heh, heh.
No end in sight.
Send Cheetoes.
