I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

 HAPPY JULY 4th!!!!


I hope you get to celebrate the Holiday with those that you love!!!
 
 
Today, I will be sharing my annual Summer Patriotic Home Tour!!

I will start with my last post.....

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I only decorate the Living Room for the Summer Patriotic Holidays so we will start at the front door.........

I did do a bit of decorating in the hall......

Click HERE to see that post.....


You may remember that my dear friend Anne Marie gifted me these goodies....


I used the dishes, napkins and pom pom in my July 4th tablescape for our Family Celebration which we had on Tuesday.....

 
 
 
 
 I used this vinyl Patriotic Doggie tablecloth as the pups were coming!!
 
 
 
 

 
 I used place mats bought in Dollar General after Christmas for 50 cents each!!!!
 

 
  Along with red handled flatware bought at Wegman's....
 
 
 
The crystal glassware were gifted to me by a neighbor....
 
 





 
 
I served cheeseburgers, hot dogs, sausage patties, potato salad, Mac N Cheese, watermelon, corn on the cob and these cupcakes.....
 

I hope you enjoyed seeing how I decorated my townhouse both inside and out for the Patriotic Summer Holidays...
 
I will keep it decorated like this until next week when I will pack it all up and decorate the Living Room in my "Under the Sea" theme for the rest of the Summer....
 
After, I do a major project in the Living Room first.... 

So stay tuned....

In my next post on SATURDAY, I will be sharing our July 4th Family Celebration....
 
 So I hope you will stop by to visit again on SATURDAY!!!  
 
 
 Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!

  1. Happy 4th to you!! The menu for your family celebration last Tuesday sounds yummy -- we're having a wiener roast later today -- just using a small fire in an old bbq grill. Nothing better than a hot dog slightly charred and bursting open!! I've made macaroni salad and baked beans, and of course, s'mores for dessert. How sweet to have a special tablecloth for the dogs -- I'm sure they enjoyed seeing it!! Enjoy your day -- Patty

  3. Hello there Debbie! I wanted to stop by and say hi! I haven't been blogging for a few months, but I have been following your blog, and I want to say thank you for being so inspirational! your blog always makes me happy even when I'm feeling down. Your joy is refreshing and your faith is encouraging! I am so sorry for the loss of your husband, but I am so inspired by the joy that shines through your life and your posts even in times of sorrow. You are an inspiration, and one of my favorite bloggers! I'm trying to get back into blogging, and you've inspired me so many times! I will try to be better about stopping by and saying hello, but I just wanted to let you know that you're always an inspiration, even if we don't always take the time to say so!
