On the Boat and a Sneak Peek!

Well, here we are on the boat for the 4th of July, him and me:) BTW we were married 5 years on May 26th, I think for 61 he is so handsome! My life changed so much when we met again after 30 something years! My kids love him and I do too!

My daughter, Sydney and Sam joined us for the fireworks we were going to see!

Me and the grands!

Thur the locks…

Of course we can’t forget the flag, getting a little tattered I see!

Boats tying up to get ready to watch the fireworks!

River scenery!

This one is my favorite! Wasn’t very sunny that day and the sun would peek out for a little bit but was very hot and muggy, I dislike those kind of days, if it’s going to be hot and muggy than let the sun shine too.LOL

This freaked me out just looking up at it, so high above , they are building a road across the river, it will connect us to Morgantown, West Virginia.

Here’s a sneak peek at what we have been doing around here…

I’ll be back later to post about some things I’ve completed, the wedding/picnic is this coming Saturday…eeek!

A Little Bit of Patriotic!

I have missed so many great linky party’s this week but didn’t want to miss the one for the The Vintage Patriotic Party at Common Ground and other ones too! I have a little bit of time here today so I’m doing this post earlier than I usually do. This area is so far from the house that I hope I remember to water the flowers in the vintage planter which I found at a yardsale, it’s made out of pressed tin and was so rusty, I actually sprayed it with flat white paint a little because it was getting just to rusty looking for me:) The birdhouse I bought years ago, it seems anyway, so I gave a one coat of flat white paint and put both the planter and the birdhouse on tree stumps…thank you Mr. Ice storm for providing the stumps!

I know it’s not alot but it’s all I can manage right now…hey, I did get my front door painted and the ugly, out of date storm door taken off, I’ve been trying to get the Mr. to do this since I moved in here. I wonder what it is when you throw a big party everything that you have wanted to do with your house gets done all at once it seems.LOL I’ll be showing pictures soon of it and other things I’ve been up to, I’ve been a painting fool I tell ya!

A further look away! Can you see all the pine needles on the ground? I guess they are a blessing it’s just that sometimes I wish they would just go away!

A little straighter picture below.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer and has a great 4th of July, we live in a great country, land of the FREE! We have to remember that always…traveling I’ve often stood and just marveled at the beauty of the country I’m in but then I remember that they don’t have what we Americans have… Freedom of choice and I feel so thankful that
God decided he wanted me to be born an American!
I’m joining these great party’s, thank you ladies for hosting even though you are so busy too!

Our 4th !

Hello everyone! What a great weekend we had and by catching up with all your blogs I see you had a great weekend too. We always spend our 4th on the river which is right down the hill from us, here is our boat Mr. K is getting it ready to take it to the dock.

Our friends following us and you can see all the boats in the background getting ready to line up to see the fireworks.

My daughter and granddaughters on their friend’s boat.


Here you can see the boats tying on to each other, it’s really beautiful at night with all the lights and the fireworks going off!

  I did manage to get a picture of this home, it’s alot bluer than what the camera took…see the drapes at the bottom right hand corner of the house? Love it! As always it was a great time with family and friends, food was great too!

 Remember this GW find from my last post? Well, I found sometime to paint it…


and this is how it turned out, I can’t wait to find some more frames to do this to.

 This clock I found last year at a yard sale for $5.00 and it was painted a blue country color. I painted it white and rubbed some stain on it, I don’t know if I’m crazy about it but for now it will do. I think it would look so much better with the cabinets painted white.LOL

That’s about all tonight ladies, I was swimming today at my daughter’s…it was so hot and now I’m off to bed! Have a wonderful night where ever you are♥
