Returned with honor

.

Waiting for Uncle Matt to get off the plane

Strider was the first to spot him.

Trying to get Rosebud to not hate him

Then fast forward four days, when Potter is finally back from scout camp and gets to greet him as well.

He surprised me with his emotions.  It was a tender moment.

Matt, we're so glad to have you back!

Land that I love

Oh my heck, do I LOVE the 4th of July.

I said my decor needed its own post, so here is a patriotic tour.

My shelf that changes seasonally

I did this flag craft with my sister in law and I love it.  My sisters admired it, so we made them for their homes as well.

The coffee table with a tub of Americana reads

My favorite piece; it's from my brother in law.  Does he know me or what?

Sweet tub (from the thrift store) next to the comfy chair for all the other books we are currently reading
