4th of July on the porch

Recent thrift store finds:
(the plate in the middle)

big HEAVY glass serving bowl:

It was perfect for serving up the "tater salad" on the 4th!

Books!

I love the illustrations in the fairy book (aren't they fun?!) and I'm looking forward to reading it to our granddaughter!

We had a great holiday and I'll be around to visit all your blogs to see how everyone celebrated sometime today.

Mermaid water:
(its really coconut/lime blue punch....but shhhhh....we call it "mermaid water" for the grandgirl! LOL)

I love beautiful dishes and those are lovely.

We spent part of our 4th in Charleston. It is such a wonderful and interesting city.

What pretty dishes and the new bowl got used immediately! What a sweet little book. Now I think I would love a little bit of your mermaid water! :) I love that. Thanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,

It looks like you had a fun celebration and lots of goodies to eat. I sure love your new treasures and I keep going back to look at the fairy book. How sweet the fairies are....and how scary that big black bird is! Have a fun week my friend. Sweet hugs, Diane

Hi Debbi,

I love the blue and white plates...there is always something so fresh about blue and white. The fairy book looks delightful. Looks like you had a grand celebration.

Thanks for asking about me....that was so thoughtful. I am doing better...much less sore with each day that passes. :-)

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
