This year because July 4th fell on our regular weekly English Country Dance night, we hosted a cookout for our dancers beneath the giant crepe myrtle tree behind our house that always bursts like fireworks into blossom clothing itself in lovely pink flowers for the 4th.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988761751589063453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132364668526714411.post-52512342782243311952017-07-05T16:32:43.686+00:002017-07-05T16:32:43.686+00:00Thank you!

That one was jus..."Long live the Queen!"<br /><br />That one was just for you, Mrs. Hollick. I live on the other side of "the pond," remember?

It was amusing to have a Brit along with us as we 'Colonists' celebrated our Independence Day that Fourth too. *laughs* It was a special trip both to the conference and Williamsburg with you. I had a particular enjoyable time taking all of those photos at Williamsburg! And of course meeting and making new friends at the conference! Pity we are not in Williamsburg today again together. xxCathy Helmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954374252614950475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132364668526714411.post-458759741727645972017-07-04T14:31:50.484+00:002017-07-04T14:31:50.484+00:00these are typical mid-late 1700s Colonial hats - a...these are typical mid-late 1700s Colonial hats - and yes they were for saleHelen Hollickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292983846350273039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132364668526714411.post-44035193535751618162017-07-04T14:03:00.879+00:002017-07-04T14:03:00.879+00:00Fab post and great memories, it seems.
