I've been thinking about you a lot since his departure.<br /><br />Your sweet comments about Baby Love's dance recital tussie-mussie brought me over, because as you can see I haven't been around much--too much going on, including new baby born 7/9! Another blessing for our family! Thank you for your visit.<br /><br />Early in your post you said you were keeping things simple, and immediately I thought, "Yeah...sure..." and I was right, of course! LOL You don't do anything simple--cherries jubilee???!!! And making your own potato salad and peeling 5 pounds of potatoes??!! I hope i can be there for your next simple 4th, that's for sure!! I love the tablecloth--so fun! It caught my eye right away. And leave it to you to think about Ben...I do believe he would've liked sangria, based on other readings about him!! :)<br /><br />Great picture of your guys...one to treasure!<br /><br />Greetings to your family, Maria. Love stopping by to visit (your blog). Any chance of a real visit to Ohio any time soon?? We'd love to see you again!

The fruit and wine combos vary so much between recipes. Your cherries look delicious too! I once made banana foster for dessert and it was fun and good but I was worried about it all during dinner. Maybe I'll give it another try! Now about that potato salad--just how many people are you feeding here??? It sound delicious too and my hubby loves potato salad. I make mine without onions and I know that sounds wrong to most people but I can't eat them so we are used to it that way. I never knew about the pickle brine issues! I usually try to use the best ingredients anyway because when you add up all the costs and compare the differences, and then consider that this food is becoming part of us, I think it makes sense to use the best. Of course my reasoning does not prevent me from eating ring dings and devil dogs! (Do you have those naughty goodies out there?) Best of luck to your son!<br />LindaLinda (More Fun Less Laundry)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14460063428965240523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025137845602567170.post-29593582126022981782015-07-17T21:39:10.399-05:002015-07-17T21:39:10.399-05:00What a lovely tablescape.
