Our Fourth of July Party

 Another great fourth of July celebration. So happy it turned out just as great as I hoped for. This is starting to become an established tradition now after two years. We were lucky with the weather. It stopped raining shortly before noon and then cleared up. We were able to sit outside which opened up a lot more space being able to enjoy the porch. 

All my decorations from Walmart that I bought before we moved home came in handy and really looked nice.

 This is how our porch looked. We happen to have an American neighbor so we invited him and his Swedish wife. Everyone seemed to have a great time. C was responsible for the burger flipping by the grill. He did an excellent job. 

 I love that this porch is able to seat so many people. We were approximately 15 grown ups and 5 kids. People brought plenty of both beer and wine so now we have more than ever. Our idea was to clear out as much as possible as our move is coming up but we definitely failed when it came to the beer and wine.  C is going sailing with some of his friends in two weeks so we will bring as much beer for that sailing as possible.

We also grilled corn on the cob. I love the hickory BBQ sauce from Publix that we still had a bottle of. The Jim Beam mustard was pretty good. The American burger dressing that is ironically not American at all. That dressing does not even exist in the US but Swedes love it and think it is American.

 

Blueberry pie.

 Our Sweet Home Alabama licence plate served as a small tray of peanuts this evening.

 Happy fourth once again to y´ll that will be celebrating on Wedsday. Sunday was spent cleaning up a little and then we headed out to the archipelago to watch a sailing boat race. C has some friends that are in the" Gotland runt" race. Sunday evening I rented a movie. Felt pretty tired after the party most of the Sunday so it was sort of a slow day. Today the sun i shining and it looks like it's going to be a real nice summer day.
