I’m the guest contributor at the Internet Cafe Devotionals today ….

Stop by and say hi!

 We’re traveling to Tulsa…

Can’t wait to taste the turkey & dressing!

Maybe yummy cheesecake?

Hope your day is great too!

I don’t know if you saw it (I didn’t until accidentally catching it last night while looking for a weather report) on OPRAH… but there is a free cd download for 48 hours (from yesterdays giveaway show).  It is a collection of holiday hits.  Here’s the link if you want to go download it yourself.  I just did!

Our fourth of July was fun! We had a cookout at my brother’s house. It was a little hot outside, but we still had fun. Mike grilled hot dogs, burgers and brats… corn on the cob… Mom made cobbler and homemade ice cream… and iced sugar cookies. Izzy enjoyed the ice cream!

Amanda is always so photogenic! Here she is with my daddy!

Me & Izzy all sweaty glowing!

Emelia posing…

Mike working the grill…

After that party we headed over to Miki’s and watched a almost never ending fireworks display. It was a fun and later than usual night!

Have a safe & happy 4th of July!!!
