Well, I'm late with my 4th of July post and I haven't been blogging either. It seems like we've had company for most of June and we've been working a lot on the 'Texas Treasure Box'.
And now I've got my hands in braces...carpal tunnel syndrome...maybe.
So I've embarked upon a series of natural treatments.
I'm also increasing my B vitamins. A daily dose of MSM, in case it's arthritis... trying to rest my hands... Sigh!
Yesterday my friend Sydney spent the 4th with us. Dinner was delish.
I made my favorite shrimp, tomato and arugula dish paired with cumin basmati rice and Sydney brought a pasta salad...which was also delish.
Sorry, no pictures, I forgot and we were SOOO hungry!
When it got dark, we sat out in the field and enjoyed our neighbor's fireworks....they were bursting forth all around us!
(As Noel is reading this over my shoulder, says he especially liked seeing the neighbors explode all around us...
He's so BAD! He criticizes my writing unmercifully!)

It was great! The fireworks, the food and the friendship!
Happy Belated Independence Day to you all!

The flag belonged to my handsome husband Noel's mother, Lois.
I know it's getting raggedy, but we can't retire it... a sentimental thing.
The flag holder is a big chunk of Texas Hill Country limestone which used to be at the bottom of a prehistoric inland sea...cool huh?
