Definitely "small town" but lots of fun.

you made some scones? awesome and apricot sounds brilliant!

i will be spending the day and night tomorrow with my sister and her family at their beach house...it is in a village that does not have a fireworks ordinance so weill be watching all of her neighbors blow themselves up! She said it is quite a show, it goes on for hours, we can see perfectly from her porch, and they pretty much light up the whole beach....so no driving and no $ and plenty of adult beverages once the cherub goes to sleep

Hope everyone is having a nice 4th!

breakfast for dinner is always a hit with me- bacon and eggs delish any time but it seems especially good at dinner, i'll never understand it....i guess it is such a warm cozy smell- and having it at the end of the day when all of the hard stuff is over, instead of at the beginning of the day with the hard stuff ahead of you- just makes it that much cozier!

or something
