The 4th of July - 2009 will be over in almost a hour....but the memories of the day & night will linger on for many many years...I'm dedicating this post to my grandmother "Mrs. Anne Haveron - born on July 4th, 1907"...I lost my grandmother just over a year ago...it seems like yesterday all the gatherings we had to celebrate her birthday(and many other holidays too)....some years all the aunts, uncles, cousins and their spouses and 
children, and different friends would come to celebrate with us - not only did we celebrate the 4th of july with everyone, but we got together to eat another cake & join in song to celebrate this well loved woman's b-day....she would "thank" everyone & than say that she wasn't sure if she would be around for one more....my grandma was admired by many and she touched many hearts that crossed her path...I know that she is smiling down on us....I know that I can say that I was truly Blessed to have her in my life & to be Loved by her "Our Queen Mother", sorry I feel the tears welling up in my eyes & heaviness on my chest - so I will keep this post short.

"See you later alligator - after while crocidile" I Love you Grandma!
Have a honey of a night - sweet dreams!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gathering, and such beautiful photos. We took our son who is 17 months to see Fireworks, and he LOVED THEM! Then yesterday we went to Sea World for a few hours and saw more fireworks there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and joining my Haunted Masquerade blog event! :) Cassandra
Hey, just checking back. You can purchase those flowers at Scrapper's Cove. They should arrive sometime in August. I'll keep you posted.

WooHoo!!! Party day is just a week away! I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone's creative spaces. I have a request... I thought it would be easier for everyone to leave comments if we all turned off comment moderation and word verification during the day (or maybe week) of the party. To do that, go to customize, settings, comments...then scroll down to turn off comment moderation and word verification.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful weekend and a fabulous week. See you next Friday!!
