A Few Things

1. Sandy, Victoria and Elizabeth came in town for the 4th of July weekend. We started with "happy hour" at Stephanie's. We all contributed something for a charcuterie board. After our regular round of "catching up" where each person tells about their week, we planned for this. Can you guess what it is?

 If you guessed Hamilton you would be correct! We couldn't wait for the release. The girls and I had seen it on Broadway a couple years ago. Stephanie and Mindy saw it again here in Nashville in January. Butch was seeing it for the first time. It was so good! But, we didn't remember how long it was---2hrs. 40min. Still, we girls loved it!

2. We started the 4th with pancakes and sausage at 10 a.m. Then it was pool time.

Our plan was to eat dinner around 3. We were all looking forward to pork steaks. We haven't had them in years. Jeanne brought them from St. Louis when she came for Camp Aunt Barb. They were so good even though a few got a little crispy!!

 This family goes through a lot of food!

 7 lbs. of zucchini. In addition, I served Italian bread (also from St. Louis), deviled eggs and fresh lima beans.

Mindy made the Red, White and Blueberry dessert. It was fabulous!!

3. Another puzzle in the books.

4. Last week, we went over to Stephanie's so that Butch could put up a couple new lights. Of course, one thing leads to another. When he removed the old fixture, I had to go to Home  Depot to get a ceiling medallion to cover the unpainted wood.

 It looks perfect!!

 There may have been some foul language involved in this installation.

 5. Sandy decided to have her hair dyed a color. 

 She's been wanting to do pink for a long time. She decided to just go for it.

 Mindy did hers a couple weeks ago. 

She opted for teal. With working from home, this is a good time to try something fun.

Just a few things to finish off this holiday weekend!
