Yesterday was a big day for me.
1. It was my birthday – hello 65! I still feel like I am 29. :-)
2. The grandkiddies, my daughter, Kelly and SIL came and will be staying for a week.
3. The annual 4th of July celebration on the lake I live on was last night with fireworks over the lake. It was a little early, but they like to celebrate before the 4th instead of after. We can see them perfectly from our house so we had a party to celebrate it all.
With the way July 4th falls within the week, we will celebrate again on Thursday. If you live in the USA, I hope you have an enjoyable day celebrating our country’s independence.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A few weeks ago I wrote that I would be changing how the links in my Style Scouting posts open when you click on them after hearing from many readers who prefer they open in the same window when reading my post on a phone.
Since then, I have heard from more readers who prefer the opposite way -that the link opens in a new tab.
To make everyone happy:
In each item I share, the link within the sentence will open in new tab. If you prefer reading where the link opens in the same tab. Click the link at the end of each item that is in parentheses like this: (open in same tab).
