Dinner:

I wasn't originally expecting company for the 4th, but ended up that I was having 2 BILs and a friend of one which meant 4 men, 1 boy & me. Anyway, as I was shopping for food on Thursday, I suddenly realized that I had NOTHING to use for a patriotic table setting. I didn't need anything fancy. Thanks to WinCo bulk bins and a stop at Dollar Tree on the way home, I came up with something. No design awards, but at least it had a festive feel.

The "napkins" are dish cloths with star garland wrapped around. The "coasters" are actually cloth trivets. In the center are chocolate candy-coated sunflower seeds. When I have that many boys for dinner, I need to keep the centerpiece simple - we need all the space for the FOOD!

Grins:

My friend Kim had a Brian Regan comedy clip on her blog for Friday Funnies - I laughed so hard and so did my hubby! You need to take a few minutes and go enjoy. That evening hubby and I looked up a few more clips of him on Youtube and I laughed so much I cried on more than one. I love laughter!

And my friend Kathy posted a clip of the dance scene with Kevin James from the movie Hitch - another good laugh!

Tin:

Rocks In My Dryer posted an easy Strawberry Pie Recipe last week (note - recipe doesn't specify, but it uses 8 cups of strawberries and a 6-oz. pkg of jello). It makes 2 pies at once. I have never made strawberry pie before and I knew it would be the perfect dessert for my 4th of July dinner and the second pie would work for my church potluck the next day. It was delicious and a hit!!! I wanted to take a picture to show you how yummy it looks...

Sorry - that was the quickest I got to it to get a pic - it disappeared too quickly! Mmmmm, it was good!

**ETA 8/7/10 Finally got a pic to add!  Soooo yummy!  :)

Have a fantastic Monday my friends - hope your week is off to a great start!
