We had a Wonderful 4th of July and even a GREAT 5th!!!
Our 4th of July started out with a great BBQ at my cousin Mary's house. We had the typical 4th of July BBQ... Hamburgers, Hotdogs, Potato Salad, and Baked Beans... with a Brownie Sundae at the end of it... YUMMO!!!
Then after our BBQ we headed off for the Lake City 4th of July Street party and fireworks... We had such a great time and really enjoyed the whole day. They had entertainment, food booths, vendors selling their 4th of july goodies and free watermelon. This is before the crowds got here~


I stayed overnight at Mary's and the next day Mary, her daughter Christal, and I headed out for a day of retail therapy... We went to Hobby Lobby, Kohls, Paddock mall in Ocala and Dunken Donuts for their yummy coffee. Great day for all of us and we each came home with bags of goodies we found.
Saturday started out a wonderful weekend... The park is pretty full with the weekend warriors, who piled in here on Friday, and they are all out on the lake in their boats having a GREAT time. My cousin Mary, her daughter Christal, and I all met up at Cracker Barrel for breakfast where I ordered my favorite breakfast there "Six grain granola pancakes". If you like pancakes you should really go get them...they are delish! Then we went shopping most of the day picking decorations up for Timothy's (Mary's grandson) graduation party next Saturday. He is really a great kid and I know he is excited about graduation.
my breakfast...YUM

Sunday morning began the exodus of weekend warriors all leaving the park... I remember those days all to well and glad we don't have to rush off and go back to work on Monday morning. In the afternoon we went to Mary's house for a wonderful BBQ of Hamburgers... she made cole slaw, corn on the cob and the burgers and I made my World Famous Potato Salad (ok maybe only famous with my family) and a Pineapple Bundt cake. It was a great day of good food and family fun!
my yummy Pineapple Cake

Have Fun, Travel Safe & Stay Healthy!!!
