July 4th means beach, barbecue and Fall

Ok ok, I know it doesn't rhyme or even go together but after I have a wonderful weekend with great friends, some cooking and some sun, I have to begin to think about my Fall and Holiday shows.  I have quite of few of them this year so I need to start extra early.  I am even going to bring some sewing to Italy with me when I leave next week.  I can't wait....but I digress, Fall shows.... 

So, let's go through the weekend.  First I will start at a spritual meeting on Saturday morning and start my weekend off on the right foot. I will come home and gather up  my husband (great guy by the way)




and we will get into his mid-life crisis car ........


and then we will meet up with our friends at Bonnet Shores....these are the friends we are going to Italy with too....





and drive to the beach to Bonnet Shores to our wonderful friends house (the ones we are going to Italy with)...

and we will proceed to eat and eat and eat again......first is seafood night, pasta with clam sauce and 20 (yes I said 20) pounds of steamers and of course desserts......
Fourth of July Desserts.....

These are what I am making straight from The Food Network ...  the one on the right is made with red velvet cake which I have already baked.




On Sunday we will eat some more, you know the traditional things like sausage, hot dogs, burgers, etc., tons of salads and more desserts....really what more could you ask for?
 
In addition....like I said...I have to start thinking about Fall and the shows for the holiday season.  I am thinking that I will start stitching some Fall ideas....maybe some oldies but goodies like....
