I spent my 4th of July holiday at my grandparents in Small Town, USA...or should I say Hickville, Alabama. I kid you not, the town's festivities included riding lawn mower races!! Talk about people watching! Airport "people watching" is a thing of the past. Just find a small town's street party, wait for "Sweet Home Alabama" to play, and watch the crazy girls cut loose! Oh, it was an eye full! In all seriousness, though, we had so much fun! It was a weekend filled with family, games, bicycling, red lipstick, red shoes, and, of course, lots and lots of eating. I love our family meals! They always include homemade pickles, both sweet green and red hot flavored, and black olives...my favorite! Yeah, yeah, say what you want...they're delish! My Papaw is a great gardner, so we always have the best fruit & vegetables and, of course, homemade ice cream always tops off the meal nicely. We have a pastor in the family, so we even get to have church on the back porch (in our pajamas). Family gatherings are the best! I have included a few pictures to document our fun times!
Playing Rook. A family tradition.
My aunt and I lost miserably, if I remember correctly.
My grandparents house.We have a big family!

The classy lawn mower race.
My mode of transportation for the weekend.
I look frustrated because my mom wouldn't stop taking
pictures...typical mother behavior I guess.
We cousins all wore red shoes...so we just had to take a picture!
I hope your 4th was as enjoyable and relaxing as mine!
