Fireworks and Fellowship

This past weekend ended up being such a great time. As you know, this was our first July 4th since moving to California in Jan. Some friends invited us to their lake house for the weekend where we experienced not only some amazing food, but made some great memories with new friends. Randy and I had rack of lamb for the first time and discovered that we liked it alot. Our host baked German pancakes with fresh sliced cinnamon apples to pour over the pancakes with fresh butter and lemon juice. We feasted on baby back ribs, egg strata, pita bread and hummus and several new recipes that I cannot wait to cook. We drove back home yesteray only to realize that the best fireworks show in the Los Angelos area was right around the corner. So we loaded our chairs and poured us a glass of tea and headed for the Rose Bowl to be totally blown away at the beautiful fireworks being set off right before our eyes. Although Randy and I talked about how much we missed Sevy and Jaden, our grandsons, who always went with us to watch fireworks, God blessed us with precious new memories and we came home feeling so thankful for all we have. It was a most enjoyable Fourth of July.
