and bunches of puddles from so much rain!
It was a night for eating out....
enjoying a sweet treat....
watching America's Got Talent with the Hubby and trying to get over the SHOCK of the Casey Anthony Trial...
and reading a new book that just came in at the Library:) 
I've been waiting for this one for awhile!
Especially when I get to spend the evening with Travis eating pancakes at Cracker Barrel, playing checkers, and catching a fireworks show from the parking lot!
A patriotic present...
...and a BIG smile!
We are so blessed to live in THE UNITED STATES---land of the free and home of the brave!
And also home to the world's greatest checkers player, Travis Rada, who beat me twice...UGH!
