a weekend of WORK and fire WORKS....

We had a wonderful time this past weekend with my family. We spent the weekend at our camphouse in Renfro. The boys played in a Golf Tourney on Friday and came in FIRST place! Way to go guys!!! Mama, Laura and I set up for our big garage sale we had on Saturday. I LOVE garage sales...having them, going to them....I love it all! We had the sale in Carthage and sold a lot of stuff. We actually had more fun playing "SWAP SHOP." Laura would pull something out of her bag and I would say, "Oooo Oooo...I want that!"...Then mama would look in my box and say,"Don't sell THAAAT. I will take it!" I know we look like major rednecks, but we had a lot of fun! After a LONG day at the garage sale, Anne Parks and I took a little nap at the camp house!

On Friday night, we drove over to Philadelphia to eat at the casino and watch the fireworks! It's only about 20 minutes from our camp house and it was a perfect night! The weather was great and fireworks show was very exciting!

Reed and I were proud to sport our RED, WHITE and BLUE to celebrate!

Me with Mama and Daddy at the casino.

So after the fireworks, I went and sat down on a bench. I guess Reed and Andrew were laughing at me behind my back about the way that I was "perched" on this bench. They both walk up and sit like "Big Mama" on the bench. They thought they were really funny!

What a great weekend. Golf, garage sales, board games, fishing, fireworks, and good food. It was great to celebrate our GREAT country with my GREAT family!
