July Open Thread 2024

 

  


Summer's still in full swing, and that also brings about our country's birthday and

how we celebrate is a gift to us by reflecting on the historical events that happened throughout our history.  









Keep the fun, the laughter and togetherness













Enjoying the homemade cookouts, the laughter and make sure there are enough
citronella candles to keep the flies and insects away.  















Add the sweets and cheer wherever you go













Kick back and remember the good days of a pool party















As the light fades in the west, we wait just a little longer.  On a warm summer night in the South this was the place.  Watch the whole thing, with Elvis "Dixieland" at the end.  This is the famous Laser Show.  They would shine the colored strobes to trace out the horses on the carvings.  We all know things are a bit scary, but hold true, we are moving forward.  God bless the USA.















Or some may just want a night to see the fireworks
















Don't forget the red white and blue berry trifle treats.




Now an easy way to do this.  Get a sponge cake from the store, break it
into pieces, put in the glass like a parfait.  Things are in a rush these days and though a homemade treat is always the best,
this will help to make it much easier.
