She Says: A List of 4th of July Pleasures
Hello Everyone! I took a longer than intended break from blogging this weekend! Mark and I are visiting my family in Rhode Island for the weekend and enjoying the sun outdoors was just too tempting. Here’s a list of some of the things my family and I have taken much pleasure in this 4th of July.
(1) Spending time with all of my high school friends who all happened to be in Rhode Island from other places this weekend.
(2) Playing on the hammock.
Getting on the Hammock
Mark Hearts Hammocking
(3) Snacks
Hummus & Pita Chips
Black Bean & Corn Salsa
(4) S’mores in Various Forms
Isabella's Deconstructed S'more
Very Burnt Marshmallows
(5) Cream Cheese Swirl Blondies - from Martha Stewart’s Cookies
Making the Blondies
(6) Running 6 hilly miles.
(7) Iced Tea from rishi tea.
I hope you are having a nice weekend and 4th of July. See you soon!
Can I add, “Heather’s witty and fun posts” to the list?

I heart my friends and visiting at Heather’s house just like old times. I’m still dreaming of the fabulous hot dog and cheeseburger! Wish I had one right now.
