Red, White and J's


Mr. J and I are known for our annual New Year's Eve and 4th of July parties. It seems like each year we have to make the next one better than the last.






I am excited about this years 4th of July party because the weather is suppose to be great,




Mr. J has the yard looking great and we got some new deck furniture (with all the of the Target gift cards we got for the wedding, thank you). I am now trying to decide what to serve. I ask everyone to bring something of course, but I can not decide what I am going to make. Here are some of my thoughts:

  • dump cake
  • baked beans
  • coconut cake
  • mac and cheese
Do you have any suggestions? My husband is the grill master so he will be in charge of the grill for the hot dogs, brats, hamburgers and ribs. All he ask for me to do it to make by famous barbecue sauce (which I learned from my momma).

Of course, there will be some spirits flowing especially, my famous mango margaritas and one of my favorite drinks strawberries and cream.

The 4th is always fun with friends. If the sky is clear, we can see a fireworks display from near by neighborhood in our back yard. I will update you next week on all the festivities.

What are you doing for the 4th of July?

I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Wife +Sick Hubby =Medical Degree

I posted  last week about my husband being sick. Even though he is feeling better, he went to his doctor to make sure everything was OK. His doctor in-turn referred him to a specialist, to make sure as well. When I asked him what was the specialist going to do, he said " I do not know. Probably just check me out."  That did not sit well with me, so I decided that I needed to attend the appointment with him. We attended the appointment. He signed in at the front desk and the receptionist asked for the paperwork sent. He of course looked at me......especially since I was the one who fill out the paperwork. I am not sure why I filled out his paperwork, probably because he asked me to, but I never have him fill out my medical paperwork. I digress. We were escorted back to the exam room. The nurse was really nice. As she began to ask for some of the medical information, I found myself answering more of the questions than he was. Maybe I should have been quiet. The doctor eventua...
