Hello All!....On Friday morning we headed to the Southern Vermont area for my annual Family reunion. We arrived at about 1:15pm. We set up our tent and relaxed all weekend. the many kids played and the adults hang out and chat and catch up on what has happened over the past year or even years since you last saw someone. It was a good time. Good food, good people, good fun. It is a gorgeous location.

Here is a sunset view from Friday night. From the top of the hill where we were we saw 4 different public and private fireworks displays.



Here are a few of the daytime views.





Here are a few other pics from the weekend:

Me, my honey and Logan (logan is feeling so much better)



Most of my fathers side of the family:



We celebrated Christmas in july on Saturday. We had smoked turkeys and all the fixings. It was a great time. then afterwards had a Yankee Swap for gifts. I for a nice basket of candles and my hubby a bottle of red wine.

On our way home we stopped at several site seeing places. We stopped at the Bennington Battle Memorial. This is a crucial Revolutionary Battle happened that prevented the british from taking Vermont.







Over all we had a great weekend...even though Logan and I were sick. But we smiled and had a good time.

We stopped at the top of Hogsback Mountain and took this picture. It is said that you can see 100 miles from this view.



We got back to our house about 3:30pm on Sunday. I was amazed to find this when we arrived.



I am going to pick it in a few days and have a sandwich! YUMMY

The garden is doing great. Over the weekend it was very hot and it did a lot of growing...













I acquired another tomato plant over the weekend. My gram brought 5 she was giving away to anyone that wanted one. So I chose the cherry tomato plant. It has many toms on it already!





Here is a few pics of the herbs that I am growing inside. I can't put them out because of the neighbors naughty cats and bugs.

Basil



Parsley and Oregano



I also have a huge pot of thyme but it is not looking nice right now..It goes brown every so often and then grows new green.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and a nice weekend in other parts of the world.

Looks like you had a wonderful time. Annual family reunion sounds like a lot of fun, sorry you weren't 100%. Thanks for sharing views and memorials with us, it's so nice to read about what's been going on in other people's countries.

SOUNDS LIKE A FUN TIME. WE USED TO HAVE REUNIONS WHEN MY DAD WAS ALIVE. I WAS THINKING ABOUT PLANNING ONE, BUT CAN'T GET ANYONE TO HELP OUT. LOVED YOUR VEGGIE GARDEN PHOTO'S. WE ALWAYS HAD ONE WHEN THE KIDS WERE LITTLE. SURE SAVED ON THE GROCERY BILL. NOW I HAVE MY FLOWER GARDEN. GLAD YOU HAD A GREAT TIME. OUR 4TH WAS QUIET. WE CRUISED AROUND IN OUR BOAT, WITH OUR YORKIE ZEKE.

It looks like a great time that you had. It also appears that you did some siteseeing.

The plants look like they did fine whilst you were away.
Oh, and that big, red tom just made my mouth water.
Everything looks to be progressing very well.
Thanks for giving us a peek.
