Happy 4th Weekend and Thursday Favorite Things
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday friends. It is the last Thursday party in June. July 4th weekend is coming up and I am off to Rochester NY for a dedication for my sister at the library where she worked. I am glad to be going, although I know it will be emotional, but not excited to be flying on a holiday weekend.
I leave really early on Friday and come back on Sunday. At least I will be home for the 4th - hopefully.
Have a great upcoming weekend.
Many of my features come from your comments. Don't forget to leave our Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you might become one of my features for next week.

Yummies on Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop
Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!
Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is going well so far. We have been very, very hot here in central Florida. Even the puppies are hot. I keep taking them in the pool to cool them off. They love it, but my other two won't go near the pool. They try to hide when I call their name. No, no not me!!
Have a great rest of your week.
We have some great features for you this week, I hope you check them out. Please link up your wonderful posts.
On to the party!

Home Ideas on You Are The Star
Welcome to You're The Star Party
Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was great. We were busy with yard and garden work. We have had a lot of rain but not too much over the weekend. With all of the rain, needless to say, lots of weeds.
Even the grass and plants are growing. Hubby has to cut grass twice a week to keep up. What can you do, keep pruning!
Have a great week.
WELCOME to the June 2023 "You're the Star" Blog Hop!
Before we continue onto the Linky party I wanted to share from my blog:

Veggies on Thursday Favorite Things
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday friends. It has been a busy week. The puppies got their last set of shots. That means they can finally go outside. That should be interesting, since they like to put everything in their mouths. I am sure they will find leaves, bugs, sticks and who knows what else.
I promised some puppy pictures. They are now 4 months old. In the pictures below, Antony is on the left and Cleo is on the right. They love to cuddle together. Cleo likes to put her head on Antony.
Have a great upcoming weekend.

Tidbits on Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop
Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!
Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is going well so far. We have been very hot here in central Florida and lots of rain. After all it is hurricane season.
today, I decided to clean out my bedroom closet. I am not sure how or why, but I have lost 25 pounds since last August. needless to say, all of my clothes are too big and I bought new things. I decided to get rid of all of the big ones to make room for the new. Funny thing, even some of my shoes were too big. I guess my feet shrank too.
Have a great rest of your week.
We have some great features for you this week, I hope you check them out. Please link up your wonderful posts.

Louver Slats for A Flag
Louver Slats for A Flag
Did you ever wonder what to do with slats from a louver door? Well, here's a project that you might want to try - a 4th of July flag.
We had an old louver door and wanted to get rid of it. I asked hubby if he could cut off the ends so I could have the slats. so there I was with a box full of them. Now what?
This was not a difficult project, but I did have to wait while the paint dried. I did not cut down the slats. That was they original size. I lightly sanded them and then painted 4 red and 3 white.
The top board was off a pallet board. I sanded this piece too and painted it navy blue.
Once all the boars were dried, hubby drilled holes for wire to attach to the top board. He marked them all so they would be the same. He also marked the pallet board.
He makes me this twisted wire. It's his own design. He uses thin copper. You can use any wire you have. The slats are light weight. We went through the front of the slat and the pallet board and into the back.
The star and rope(already had) I got from the Dollar Tree. We drilled holes for the rope and I tied a knot on the front. You could always use a hook if you wanted to.
For the star, I used tiny screws to attach the star to the pallet board. You could always paint a star on there instead.
I have it hanging on my door out to the lanai.
The post Louver Slats for A Flag first appeared on Eclectic Red Barn.

Vintage, Food and DIY on Thursday Favorite Things
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday friends. I am in Pittsburgh, PA visiting my Mom and my sister. My Mom turned 98 a month ago and is doing pretty good. She forgets things easily but that's OK. She lives on her own in an apartment building. She is amazing.
The weather has been beautiful. We enjoy sitting out on her porch and watch everything that goes on. She lives in town so it seems as though something is always happening. I take her out to lunch each day and then a light snack at dinner. Our time together is going so fast. I will be leaving on Saturday. It never seems like enough time.
Have a great upcoming weekend.

Treats, Tablescape and a Question on Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Happy Wednesday! Just an update, Louie is now 100% and the puppies are growing like weeds. Hubby has been taking care of all of them by himself since I am visiting my Mom. He has been a real trooper. lol! Although he keeps asking when I am coming home.
I am having a nice visit with my Mom and sister. We don't do too much. She gets tired easily but I take her out to lunch each day. She enjoys that. I have been doing some big cleaning. She does good, but at 98, she doesn't do the big stuff.
