I didn’t want anyone to worry about me; I’m fine and dandy. Well, aside from the 341 bug bites that I’m currently scratching. No-see-ums, chiggers, mosquitos, yellow jackets; they all love me. Why am I so delicious? This is my cross to bear.
We had such a lovely long (Thurs-Tues) July Fourth weekend with our friends. ‘Merica!
I’m thinking of naming our house Shenanigan Central instead of Where The Money Went.
There was much LAUGHING, wine drinking, BBQ’ing, dog petting, puzzle doing, walking, hiking and avoiding snakes/bears, music enjoying, and pizza making.
Our deck did not collapse from the weight of us as the Coach said it wouldn’t, so that was awesome.
Things that I should share in more detail later: My rendition of Sally O’Malley because I CAN KICK and I CAN STRETCH and The Puzzle Club. Riveting stuff.
Oh and one piece of great news to share too.
I’m working on catching up with all of you, but it might take me two weeks; some of you talk more than I do. Imagine that.
XOXO

Sounds and looks like fun, fun, fun. I enjoy the Fourth and like knowing other people do too. Shenanigan Central is a fine name for a house. Our house is Happy House.

I’m having serious porch and deck envy again. That last photo looks so inviting if I sat? I might never leave…
Glad you were able to enjoy the 4th with friends!

Thanks for sharing these great photos. I can almost here the laugh-track in the background. So fun.
And I’m honored that you named your place after us (before we’ve even visited) . . . the Shenanigans. Great minds think alike. Looking forward to hearing more about the fun you had.
We had an unusual first happen to us on the 4th. Something I hope not to repeat. No idea when I will have time to share. We can laugh about it now.

Shenanigan(s) has always been one of my favorite names/words. I’m anxiously awaiting the story of the fourth and I’m glad to know all is well.

What, was “The Fun House” taken? LOL
I’m so glad you had a fun-filled, friend-filled Independence Day. That’s just what a vacation home is all about: hosting your favourite people and enjoying yourself.
And getting rid of those nose zits as a group.

You are the sweetest. I’ve not been carded in 20 years and I won’t unless they UP the drinking age to 55.
