That picture of the baby holding a cup of coffee and an apple pie is so cute Karen, it made me laugh:>) I just love the colors of our flag and i still get an occasional tear in my eye when I see the flag flyng in the breeze, I love it so much. Happy 4th, I hope you get your fill of corn on the cob and good times my friend!

Happy Pink Saturday Karen Sweetie...
Your post today is so beautiful. I love the quilt draped on the porch. Quilts are my weakness, a girl can never have to many that is for sure.

Colorful, fun and so patriotic too. Oh and I love that blue bike photo. Perfect for the occasion.

Have a beautiful pink Saturday and a safe and fun 4th of July.

Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
