Thank you, Nan. Most are dish towels/napkins picked up at HomeGoods/Kohl’s/Target over the years 🇺🇸
So many mouthwatering red white and blueberry treats! I can’t believe it’s Memorial Day weekend! We are having good ole American hamburgers tonight and hoping for fresh red snapper after the guys go fishing tomorrow! Thank you for the patriotic delights Mary, I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend 🇺🇸

Lots of wonderful desserts to celebrate in style. Love your styling too Mary. Enjoy this holiday weekend. Thanks so much for sharing so many wonderful ideas. Happy Memorial Day weekend.
Mary, Delicious sounding recipes and colorful too. It seems we went from Valentine’s day directly to Memorial Day. Thanks for the ideas. We’re going to a friend’s house for an outing as we cautiously venture out with our masks on. We don’t want to be in a restaurant with strangers so we’ll stay on the screened porch and socially distant between the 3 of us. This will be our first gathering so we’re planning carefully. Wishing you a delightful Memorial Day! Clara ♥️
Thanks for all your patriotic treats for us to enjoy, Mary! Happy Memorial Day weekend to you your hubby and Lola and Sophie.
Mary, I can’t believe Memorial Day is upon us. Everything looks delicious and presented so beautifully. We have no plans for Memorial Day (most unusual). I hope your weekend is delightful! ♥️🇺🇸💙
Mary..I don’t know if you follow Big Red Barns and a old Yellow Farmhouse on Facebook or not.. but on Wednesday they did a post entitled She says She Shed and yours was one they pictured.
Just thought you might be interested! As always yours was my Favorite!
Hope you have a great Memorial Day.
Happy, Happy

I made the Layered Berry Cake as the Birthday Cake for a dinner party. It turned out great! Wish I could share a photo with you. You have so many amazing ideas that make me look good! Keep up the good work. I never miss reading one of your blogs! Thanks again!
Horray for the red, white and blue! What a delicious post! Everything looks so good. Our governor is finally lifting some requirements and we can gather again in small groups of 10, of course keeping our distance. Will have to figure out which one of these beauties to make or I may have to go with the lemon tart featured the other day. So many good treats, so very hard to choose! Thank you! May you have a great holiday Mary, hope you can enjoy your wonderful pontoon boat. I think the girls need a boat ride. 😉♥️🐾
Love these compilations, Mary. Love your new mask, too. Weirdness abounds. I’ve had to make notes on my calendar to keep track of what I’ve done from week to week. Almost every Thursday feels like a Friday to me, so I get confused at the end of the weeks. Hope you can get some boat time in. Our river is up and swift, so I think boaters will be hesitant to be on the water here. Add it to the list of weird and whacky.
Oh, and I will definitely be making that lemon tart this weekend!
Enjoy Rita! Let me know how it works as a pie! 🍋 💕
Hard to keep up with days and Memorial Day came up quickly. The red white and blue goodies look really delicious !
Maybe it’s just me but my mind is having trouble adjusting to the current page on the right and links to older pages on the left now.
Enjoy your weekend. Let US not forget why we are celebrating.
getting ready for summer and all those red white and blue holidays! The skittle cobbler looks perfect.
