I am wishing you all a happy 4th and want to THANK all of our veterans and soldiers currently serving for preserving all the wonderful freedoms we enjoy. Since we don't have a deck yet:( I decided to revisit my table (one of several) from last year to help celebrate and show off our patriotism!!! I am so blessed to live in this country.  This table is FULL of patriotic love! The centerpiece is a vase of BLUE hydrangeas from my yard. I have been going over tyhere and cutting them, there are 10 bushes of them at the old house!!!! The white lanterns are very versatile. I placed a red votive in them for the 4th.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztZAK83C_Vz3ypyi6BlBi7la0D-3fJbV-GqKnQqtdfeMjZN773s_VPcghHJrZ3fi2jARazKwEoUaWn7IftYOazqQ_RD_kKV0a7j280YTdUAPgI98NtbVERocddP3m1xQbkxT8J9t6P-Iw/s1600/IMG_7781.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztZAK83C_Vz3ypyi6BlBi7la0D-3fJbV-GqKnQqtdfeMjZN773s_VPcghHJrZ3fi2jARazKwEoUaWn7IftYOazqQ_RD_kKV0a7j280YTdUAPgI98NtbVERocddP3m1xQbkxT8J9t6P-Iw/s640/IMG_7781.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgld8k_nQ0JihBuszs7bGkcy-QCGegOIrK2Yw5KM1uuoCLAA-LZshP1_6sKx3vbRjOdaGrhkk_n6_nT4dmkwCAkSQU6S6idg4H2fo0ymdLiBMveXA13m4RCrRmMxGooJdOa6vmoZuzFaZk5/s1600/IMG_7782.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgld8k_nQ0JihBuszs7bGkcy-QCGegOIrK2Yw5KM1uuoCLAA-LZshP1_6sKx3vbRjOdaGrhkk_n6_nT4dmkwCAkSQU6S6idg4H2fo0ymdLiBMveXA13m4RCrRmMxGooJdOa6vmoZuzFaZk5/s640/IMG_7782.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The glasses are plastic but perfect for outdoor dining.
