~~~Our INDOOR 4th of July Picnic!!!~~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi everyone! Yesterday it was HOT and HUMID so we had our family picnic INDOORS! It was alot of fun though! Some of the guys (and the dogs) did sit out o the deck for awhile before and after dinner. The BEST part of the day was that my daughter and SIL brought almost all of the food, did all the cooking and CLEANED UP!!!!!!!!!! A girl could get used to this type of treatment!!!!!! Thanks so much Tracy and Dave!!!! Here is the table. It is a little different from the table I did last week outside. I haven't found a "patriotic" tablecloth big enough for my table with the leaves in it so used this white one.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKQSDBwRl5UAkfyYucrKzHPDZlwdwhIseS6lcW9WKuPoD8U0rTqQXPPSAnPTI6l_8NhcUJweJbkjMapKaEnOs5Mer2hECdPR1P5UNrXYEkEUGwtCCFJDGMF9nhcmYegZPQpszTre3Kc4YU/s1600/IMG_7858.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" /></a></div> The place setting is the red placemat, white dinner dish, blue salad plate and white bowl. The "napkins" are dish towels. I figure with burgers, dogs, etc. you need something SUBSTANTIAL!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOzM_NV_S5W3npbtl-DUjrFLIDtOH79HnPTgW7eSnVR5bHbZPYnLF8iRJuV9wMpCCWC1zRJtCicnkFk1Ic-zcjCHEMpR4pHnDLpQJRXmVAetAYIjjSilvgjQOON4qrr7Mp8I6DJXLbZpce/s1600/IMG_7859.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX9nzBwp_AJWZAztRNGGUl6-Q7wDO7WclNnBnnWl9awHGL4MxnGbfUO_MZdioQw-WXJM0Qi267Pam831LqbKjSY9VbMmNMaEQvrGBFICQ-mB9du8p97XJW-VhShs9WKAvDNi-o-EMofhZy/s1600/IMG_7860.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" /></a></div> I scattered little red, silver and blue stars on the table.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFE0YWSTpdhiBJfWpA38fxuCTd5MRx0SMHIFt78NLZ2-3NhV6eoZXbdpbbh0QtPL6Zut5kRAmOika88UUr3WHnbHiAHyugMeYh6tG8Hp2I1Y7ryH4XA4-W76QZEwka9tc5427VoG8K0BwR/s1600/IMG_7861.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" /></a></div> Red pillar candles.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNSe8-S8iRVz4PffWYKCqKjZ5oWkFTY0XehdnsdtapAjoCeDlYG4cOL8iKnFd2YG-oGW6GPMV8RtmnIiVfbTpNwwGBZtIXbNhpl1zeUghju7Yky0LaOLDODdSMaTlPiq8JUGn2HPogjjji/s1600/IMG_7862.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGIjXO5FqTxlH_JuaLDjFQ7VEADuAeM8ksLnE-0vkJCJlP9JLj7pINzvIsGB3yIPFb8LVDiwGRABp89O1t7vk_oGOAk3oNd9yMtDSaPjcaotScB7JaM7BFJqbcIxYZs077krpmvvEi5Uno/s1600/IMG_7863.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" /></a></div> I used my hydrangeas from the yard and some grocery store daisies and carns for the centerpiece.

~~~Delicious Deviled Eggs!!!~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Good Morning!!!! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! We had a busy one! On Sunday we were invited to a picnic but Joe wasn't feeling well so I went alone:( It wasn't as much fun without him but my "assignment" had been deviled eggs so I thought I would share with you my recipe. They really are yummy! The secret to hard boiling eggs, I have found is to boil the water FIRST, then carefully drop the eggs in. Simmer for 10 mins., turn off the heat and let them sit for 10 more mins. then rinse in cold water and they will peel easily! Then I take the yolks out and mash them with a fork til they resemble course corn meal.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3sMp6sHEtPWma6VXOAVwaVvxJVKzLtveBCldqcqRr5NiSlGpz8PkxaKhFE8IjFIrq0j_BiqvUZH-owFOlNPYErQsHbCRhkynMWVfpUwaKHK3omxPabgvVOaF8FOUJxytiLzTmdlaA4mFy/s1600/IMG_7844.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi98Veyt0cmRUEM3paCd28FMgq55g2d2huCbAbJSwn_0Szbala6aMPVT3FRU6OCBxtfD2AUkj31AGanPN_RJQsaffNgkpo0Gfg4O8hymCTjkdxV1inF5yuXHpdTJsyKcPkRKot9Ocisey4C/s1600/IMG_7845.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" /></a></div> Here are all your ingredients!
