Welcome to Celebrating the 4th of July with a red, white and blue table setting. I love Patriotic Holidays and celebrating Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Veteran’s Day are such a joy for me. When I was a child…our family celebrated each of these holidays with a large family potluck,…
Welcome to We Never Tire of the Beauty of “Old Glory”! I have put together a few of my past tables to hopefully give you inspiration. I love to decorate for the picnics and gatherings for Flag Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day. It is just patriotic and the thing to do….
I love chicken salad with extras because it is so simple. I learned to make chicken salad from my mother and grandmother and they made it delicious but pretty plain. Yes, it was good, but years later….when I started adding the “extras”, my chicken salad became even better. The extras I am talking about are…
The calendar tells us it is time for another Patriotic Celebration. And I love celebrating the red, white and blue. I really love decorating the outside of our home, but this year, I can’t do that as the roofers are putting on a new roof after Hurricane Ian visited SW Florida last year. It requires…
Friends, it is definitely Summertime here in Florida and in most parts of this wonderful United States. I know, I know…. things are a bit topsy-turvey these days, but this is still a wonderful country we live in. Happy 4th and God Bless this United States of America, flawed though it may be. Our country…
I have a confession to make. I set this tablescape up last year to celebrate the birthday of America. I loved it so much that I wanted to show it again…in case you missed it the first time around. If you saw it last year, just skip this one…but I loved that I used…
Uncle Sam! Folks, the Uncle Sam I am referring to is literally kinda old. I know, the other one is old too. LOL You see, I have had this newspaper stuffed gentleman for more years that I care to remember. I have had to replace his “stuffing” from time to time, but I still like…
Celebrate Your Story (CYS) Link Party! Good afternoon dear readers! I love the red, white and blue and use any excuse to decorate with it. Such as this Patriotic Picnic in the Grass last week.

Patriotic for sure! Wow! I do love me some red, white and blue! I know! Right? I can hear the band playing “the Stars and Stripes Forever”!! I hear it… Don’t you? As I gathered up my Patriotic tablescape “stuff”, I noticed the clouds were getting a little dark colored! And you know, I don’t…
Don’t you love it when a plan comes together? You know, the dishes are done and the kitchen all cleaned after supper and you are just minding your own business…. Propped up in bed with your feet higher up on pillows….thumbing through an old issue of Southern Living magazine and you see a picture of…
The Captain and I love the Red, White and Blue and we really need no excuse to celebrate, but here are a few tablescapes and vignettes we have used in the past and present. There are so many occasions to celebrate during our calendar year, including President’s Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Columbus…
“Old Dogs and children and watermelon wine” is an old song lyric. Tom T. Hall sang, rather he recited it and I have always loved the sentiment behind it. “There wasn’t anyone around ‘cept this old man and me The guy who ran the bar was watchin’ “ironsides” on tv Uninvited, he sat down and…
