My favorite thing I like about the fourth? The freedom that we enjoy in this country because of the wisdom of our founding fathers and preserved by many who have sacrificed to preserve it.

Oh Tina my favorite thing about the 4th is getting together with family and friends and of course the Fireworks. Your place looked very calm and relaxing. The Guys looked like they were having fun at the lake. I Love, Love, Love campfires as we camped for 18years. I loved your decorations they were so pretty. Thank you for sharing your family and friends with us. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. 💚🙂🦋

My favorite thing about the 4 th is enjoying the time with people and the food and fireworks. Happy Fourth of July🎉

Years ago,celebrathing grandmas birthday,she loved her day !!!

My mother used to decorate alot like that at my family cottage back east we would have fun times like that when I was young , 👍

That’s so pretty. I love all of your beautiful lights Tina. My favorite part is being with the ones I love. My husband also usually works the 4th of July so I was happy he was off! ♥️

That looks so peaceful 🙏

Love the effects and the life involved. So happy and vibrant so many colors and such a pretty display I love it. Good point about the fire also I did a bonfire a while back and I was on fire lol. Ps the music is very relaxing also thank you for sharing 😊

Beautiful Decorations.

Have you read “Open Heart, Open Home” by Karen Mains? Great book on hospitality. She was concerned if everything was not perfect she wasn’t a good hostess and she needed to do everything herself. She had a change of heart. You are never going to escape your desire to decorate, but if sharing in other’s lives is really your thing… keep it simple. I would have been happy to sit around and talk for hours. That being said I also appreciate all you and Mike did for us.

My favorite 4th of July is to show my patriotic side....God Bless America...so proud to be an American...putting out the accents of the 4th in the patio...plates, napkins all that goes in a patio BBQ...splashes of red, white and blue, up, down and around, ballons, streamers you name it. Plus the dollars stores allow us to do all we can with such fair prices...right? please...don't give up on your 4th celebrations...just tone down your to-do list...make it a pot luck...a must BYOB...for food and drink...and invite less (way less people) send out that thinking now so next year they'll hear about it and not just show up on your generosity...OR just on a smaller scale for just your... "own family"....guessing that lake is a big draw for guest...find a way lady so you won't feel so consumed, here's an idea next 4th YOU go to someone else's 4th gathering but first put out the word...this year no BBQat my house...we'll be joining friends else where....hope it works 🤥😃good luck...byeeeeee

Where are you from?
