What's up next for anyone? 4th of July?
It's very quiet in here. I think we're going to have some sort of cook out soon, it's just a matter of how many people we want to invite.
Our neighborhood does a huge 4th parade and potluck. They base what you bring on the first letter of your last name so we're up for dessert. I'm thinking lemonade cake.
Re: What's up next for anyone? 4th of July?
Hi! Am in "Guest" mode for most of the summer. There are so many things we've been invited to - that I don't have to cook for. And... my house needs a really good deep cleaning. I should focus my energies on that. Probably the next big, big event will be my girls' double birthday/Halloween Party.
Am still "lurking" for cute ideas and new recipes though!

Lucky duck on all those invitations!! Looks like I am hosting most of the Summer, but I"m good with that as it is always time spent with my kids/g'kids or very best friends.
I just had a housewarming party and made strawberry shortcake- my "go-to" summer dessert! Lemonade cake sounds delicious though, I'll definitely have to try that out.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
wow!!!sounds yummy...
I am hosting a party again this year, but again on the 3rd since people will have to work on the 5th. This year I'm doing it in the evening because 1) I have to work that day and 2) I wanted to die last year in the heat. My backyard cools off pretty well by about 6, especially if its windy.
I'm keeping it much more low key since I have to work that day but did invite about 50 people again. I am doing brats that will be pre-cooked in a very tasty beer broth and only need heated (set up as a DIY station over charcoal). I'm catering grilled chicken breast. Thinking about adding a platter of lunch meat pinwheels for an after drunk snack. I still need to come up with some easy sides I can make the day before. Many family will also bring sides so I don't need to go all out there.
We'll have a bonfire and s'mores as long as its not still 95 out by 9pm. Of course no fireworks ever again so the bonfire is our new night time event.
We hosted a party last weekend for friends, just a get-together at our apartment. However, we are hopefully moving this summer into our first house (just put in an offer yesterday!), so I'm really hoping come Sept/Oct, we have a housewarming party to throw
For the 4th--H is working, so nothing spectacular for us.
