We had a very festive Independence day holiday here at the Kinneer/Dickman household!
We had a delicious dinner and some snacks beforehand.
John spent most of the day cleaning the boat to get it ready to start using it this year…been a very busy year with many different projects and events, so he hadn’t really had time to do this yet and he so loves to be out on the water! Sadly, he isn’t sailing the seas but that’s a different story😏 !
This is the final sparkling clean boat…at least we live in Florida where boating season is basically year round!😁
Patti and I hung out in the house, getting dinner ready and snacking.
Yum, deviled eggs!
Patti set the table…
With all the delicious fixins’…Instant pot ribs, home-made potato salad, baked beans, and corn on the cob!!!🤗
Ready to chow down😋
Delicious home-made apple pie…Grandma’s recipe, YUM!!!
John likes his pie a-la-mode…
…and Patti likes whipped cream!
And now for some poses…
Such fabulous models!
After dinner and dessert we a sparkling good time!🎇
Singing and dancing away…I got some of her singing in the videos at the end of the post.
John getting ready to light some sparklers for Patti.
She really loves sparklers only, cannot stand loud noises. I remember going to fireworks when I was a kid…I don’t know if she went though…
And here is Patti hamming it up with some 4th of July sparkler videos…enjoy!!!!🎼
We need to take her show on the road, don’t you think?!
We really did have a pretty good day. It’s really nice after everything that Patti has been thru to see her smile and have a good time…and it’s nice to know that we can still make her smile:)
