PINK SATURDAY & HAPPY 4TH OF JULY


Hello, Happy 4th of July. I hope that however you spend your day you have a wonderful one! Were on vacation and were spending the day with a lifelong friend of my husbands. I love this holiday and seeing all the flags and red, white and blue everywhere. I grew up in a very patritoic family, my father a "lifer" in the Air Force, we always had a flag flying high! I'd also like to send a prayer of thanks to all our men and women that are serving our country and keeping us all safe!

Today for Pink Saturday I have my porch with a touch of pink along with my patrotic decorations. Thank you to Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for hosting this fun event!
A Patrotic view from my porch!

A pretty Patrotic cake with a topper that I made.
A little porch party from some time back.


Some pinkness from the road as we started our trip earlier in the week. We made a stop at "Cracker Barrel for breakfast and I could not resist take a pic of this pretty pink chair! One of my favorite places to eat and shop. I can always find the cutest little gifts in their cozy little gift shop!



A view along the road as we headed out of West Virginia! We drove through clouds all the way but lucked out and never hit the rain!
Finally, the "Jersey Shore". The Barnegat Lighthouse.


I find such a sence of peacefulness in watching a seagul!
Oh my how I have missed this beautiful site!
Thank you so much for stopping by, enjoy Pink Saturday and again have a wonderful 4th of July however you spend it! I will be back posting from the road for Blue Monday!
Bless you, Shirl

Oh My Gosh! What a wonderful trip. Love the ocean and the seagull looks so serene. They are free. Now that Cracker Barell scene has given me an idea. I have a rocker out back done in natural wood, that I believe is going to become a pink one, or red. I just bought an old metal loveseat rocker that I am painting red today, so my rocker may become as well. I loved it. Thanks so much for sharing, and please stop by and see what I do for the 4th.

I love your patriotic photos with the touch of pink. My dad was in the Air Force for over 20 years and another 10 or so in the reserves.

The pink Cracker Barrel rocker is wonderful.

Simply Debbie said...

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY AND FOURTH OF JULY SHIRL,
Also have a safe trip.
I love your red, white, and blue tablecloth...I adore the caketopper you made...that was awesome...I have an americana collection that I would leave that topper out, all year long. The party table was really cute....wonderful job.....
I have only been to the ocean one time, so I can imagine how very excited and charged you were when you saw the waves and sand.
I am having my 100th give away open until this Friday night at 12mn and the winner will be announced on Pink Saturday post July 11, 2009.
Angel Hugs
