Day One Hundred Eighty Five 2010

Happy Independence Day, America!
























The Ranft, Myers, Kimbrough, Foy, Sissom and Mabry Families gathered in our back yard for our Fourth of July/Independence Day celebration. We enjoyed a great meal that included Neil's grilled pork ribs, Ann's potato salad, Don's cole slaw, Holly's deviled eggs and Mexican salad and awesome desserts like Neil's homemade ice cream, Holly's blueberry upside down cake, Jane's peanut butter fudge and lemon ice box pie made with Mom's recipe. We played corn hole (thanks Ann and Terry for bringing your game) and watched the local fireworks show (crazy windy ride in the back of Jerry's truck--thanks for taking us, Jerry). To top it all off, Kerry, Jerry and Don set off a ton of fireworks which was a brilliant Fourth of July display that rivaled the big city fireworks (just as good and no traffic). Talk about shock and awe! What a great time we had together. We are so blessed to get to live in this country. Happy Birthday, America!
