Happy 4th of July!

Here's the whole gang!
(Dennis, Linda, Sam, Katie, Rusty, and me)

I made a few flags from some vintage goodies I had.
I made a meringue dessert. This provided the perfect opportunity to use my new trifle bowl I had been dying to use! I found it when antiquing with Ames. (It came filled with wooden spools of thread, but I'm planning on using it exclusively for desserts)



We had a fabulous Independence day! Sam's family all came to the lodge to celebrate. We had a great time. We played croquet and badminton. Unfortunately we didn't have any fireworks, but we still had a blast, ha! We played games, relaxed, laughed, and even managed to fit a little antiquing in! We ate way too much food, it's in my blood, I can't help it. We stuffed our bellies with watermelon, corn on the cob, potato wedges with chipotle dip, chicken and portobello sandwiches and a meringue dessert.

We also just returned from a great 3 day backpack trip and I'll be posting about that soon!
