Hope everyone had a fun filled 4th of July weekend! I know we did! It was really hot all weekend. Since we live on dry land, no ocean (sigh) there was lots of swimming involved. This year I did not host a party at my house. At first I was kinda of leery of that. Since I always put together a picnic, BBQ and look forward to going all out in old fashioned style. We headed over to a cousins house this year. She recently purchased a new house with a swimming pool. Not to far from the mountain where the annual fireworks shoot off (good view). She was so excited to give her first 4th of July party, so I would have felt bad for not attending. I actually have to admit that it was kinda nice and relaxing to pass the duties on this year. All I had to worry about was making a potato salad to bring, get dressed and head out the door! No preparation or decorating, no cooking and no clean-up! However, I missed my old fashioned style BBQ. I enjoy doing that stuff and will be glad to get back to work next year! So this is what I wore to the party. Since we were planning on going swimming. I did not bother to set my hair only to have to wash the chlorine out anyway. I opted for the good old scarf over my head. It was red, white & blue though. A red, white & blue checked shirt, my favorite high waist 40's style dungarees, blue vintage inspired canvas tennis shoes and my red Bakelite earrings and bracelet. Pretty casual! We did not get anymore pictures of the party throughout the night. Well that would be because the silly airhead I can be at times. Forgot the camera laying on the kitchen counter in an attempt to make sure I didn't forget anything! ie: potato salad.

Hope everyone has a swell Monday!!
