Food art

 Or food fun.

I found these while scrolling. Liked them. Took a screenshot of them. 

A sunflower with mangos, blueberries and raspberries; cheese ball with vegetable flowers.  Cute, huh? 

Wellllll, I don't think my version of them is quite a Pinterest fail. Opinions? 

I know. It's kind of juvenile. But, so I am I! 

And the cheese ball? Really yummy! 

The raspberries are from my backyard, so that's a bonus🙂

Oh, and the peas. They are NOT sugar snap peas, however. 

Treats for tonight's book club meeting at my house.

Old Friends--Tamashiro's

 Lester and Linda lived across the street from us many long years ago in Hawaii.

 They moved away, then we did, but we've kept in touch off and on through the years. We sure love these Kailua Third Ward folks! We had such a a fun visit with them July 8. They were on their way to St George and stopped for about an hour. They currently live in Logan.

And she brought treats!! Generous, giving Hawaiian friends.  

❤️❤️❤️

Maybe someday I will learn to take a decent selfie😉. (But probably not. )

July 4 Celebrations

 Family time! 

A fun run in Kanarraville first thing in the morning.

Breakfast in K-towm after that.

We did not win or place in our old age category, but we DID walk for two miles around town!

Then the big parade of Kanarraville town. It was 10 minutes and 37 seconds long, including a very long gap in the middle😆

Eric. Nick. Mike.

Tandy and much of her Fehr family & others. Caroline, other cousins.

A cute little train.

Kaylee with a HUGE pinwheel that Jane  and Logan got.

Jane showing off hers.

 They used a concrete pumping truck to hoist a parade flag over the route! Clever. 

Rachel, age 10 1/2.

Logan, age 8. In a SHARK chair.

We had a fun picnic at the Cobble Crest after. My Mom joined us for lunch there. It was kind of like a plate lunch, actually.

Cool and shady at the park after the program. Oh, Damian DID win first place in his age category for the fun run

 Woo hoo! His prize? A medal. 🥇

Granddaughters. Love 'em!!❤️❤️

Silly grands! 

Bubble bath fun after the parade at my house in our big jetted tub, lunch and water games at the Kanarraville park. Getting ready for our family feast at Pam's house. 

Jane (6)and Emily(4).

Dutch oven chicken and potatoes. Salads, rolls, chips and salsa, veggie tray, fruit platter and homemade ice cream. Mmmmm good!!

And then fireworks, compliments of Damian, of course. 

All the Little Liebhardt gang had tons of glow sticks and glow rings that they adorned themselves with. Cute. It made it easier to find kiddos in the dark. 

His finale was 3 minutes long.

Beautiful! 

Then the next days we had fun eating and visiting and playing games.

Emily can touch her tongue to her nose! 

So can Jane. I believe that is a Liebhardt girl trick😉.

Playing Bears and Bees game.

Rachel enjoying Grandpa's waffles.

My Mom visiting with some grandsons. Nick, Damian.

End of June car show and BBQ lunch at Our House

 

This is quite the cute little hot rod!

THIS car is so big I can't even fit it in my camera frame! Ha.

July begins, and so do the visits

 The smoke is still heavy from the Forsyth Fire on Pine Valley mountain. I took this on our drive to and from Enterprise, Utah, for Austin Jones's wedding reception. Fun party! 

Tandy and Alexa and Lili the dog got here about Thursday. Ella flew in to Vegas on Sunday ( ?) night. We all went to the Greenshow then out to pizza ono day. All the Fehr family cousins were there, too! Well, not ALL, but a lot were.

 

The fire makes for very pretty sunsets.
