PICK YOUR FAVORITE 4TH OF JULY TABLE RESULTS

First of all-

Thank you so much for always playing along.

I know many blogs have been abandoned over the years-

Facebook & Instagrams are the new favorites

BUT

there are a lot of us "old" bloggers

that remain connected and I am thankful for that.

Ready for the results?


 HERE WE GO!



#1-BLUE HYDRANGEA SALUTE

Denise, Ginny, Linda(Life&Linda), Chatty Crone,

Liz(hoping Ron is serving cocktails here-sorry Liz),

Sweet Sandi (wondering what she can bring--just yourself, sweetie),

Debbie K/Debbie (Bluebirds&Mandolins),Terri, Noreen, 

Linda C(my artist friend), Sabra (love you, kiddo), Sheri, bj/SweetNothings, 

Jettie (plusI am sure one of her pets)


#2-BITE BY THE BAY

Donna, Debra(SheWhoSeeks), Jeanie (likes the water but not the red/white/blueWHAT THE WHAT?),

Jack & Sherry (my sweet travelers)

Gert-(must eat before swimming),

Happy, Karen M, Gay (needs an outfit-I'll order one to match my own for you, Gay),

Laurie- (probably the only one that can wear a bikini-lol)

Lynne & Missy (the two most likely to act up-& Missy is bringing a fishing rod-seriously?)

Kim, Melanie, Janie J, Jan, Lisa, Yvonne


#3 STICK AROUND FOR THE 4TH

Penny C, Viv (bad knees and all-bring your crutches, darlin'),

Latane, Kris V, Karen/BeatriceE) MA, Nonie

Pam S & Ann-both wanted Table #2 but were afraid someone would push them in the water...now WHO would do that (hands outstretched here).....

Fran, Cecilia (wearing a paint stained smock), Debbie N, Jo, Nola & MaryH

and-God bless me- I missed BLESS!


#4-SOMETHING'S FISHY HERE

A small sweet group!

Tiffany, Marydon, Ellen, Lisa K, Susan B.


#5- A LITTLE BIT OF GOLD

Mevely, Billie Jo, Betty D &

 Racheld-comment/how she rationalized her choice:

I DO believe #5 would be my choice, though I've never been a sunflower or daisy person---it's just that all the red checks and blue napkins and little jam jars with their topknots fresh from the canning kitchen all look as if they could have come out of one of those Massachusetts/Maine baskets ready for a picnic. You know, the wide, lavish ones with the colorful cloths top and bottom of a warm berry pie with stars in the crust, whether it's the Fourth or not---something about a New England Summer picnic that's so fresh and crisp and bright, and not like the dumpy old everyday Colemans and Igloos of my Southern raising, slid into pickup beds with tools and quilts and an ole dog to head for the lake, and Cuzn BobbyRay already there with a big bag of Kingsford and Marvella's famous Duke's potato salad.


And the table! The colors---and cupcakes! Nibbles! Jam! That one looks like you turned me loose at it already, throwing all sorts of homemade goodies around with a careless hand. Yep. #5

#6-PATRIOTS BY THE POOL

Mad Snapper, Lena (she is leaving me a BIG tip-pay attention you slouchers)
Kitty & Sally

#7- SHOVEL IT IN-IT'S THE 4TH

Connie- Is smitten by sailboats, 
Woody (a salty old veteran,),
Julie, Alice & Mary

AND my friend, Tom-Who only comes for the food and doesn't 
care where he sits!


Well, there you have it!
Another Pick Your Favorite wrapped up.

If I missed your name-let me know.
I do double check but I have to go 
from blog comments, to FB comments, 
to direct emails....so bear with me..

Be kind if I dissed you---let me know
and I will give you a special seat at the table
(no extra charge for the nail sticking up)

I have a prayer request coming in a day or two
so please pop in again.

Love all you wonderful people!

  13. Boo hoo, I got left out of table #3! I picked it because it looked like a picnic and there's nothing better than a 4th of July picnic! I was looking forward to it, too! Oh, well, maybe next time!

  17. Sounds wonderful. I hope all these tables are in close proximity to one another so we can hobnob around and meet everyone else! Wouldn't that be grand??? Happy Independence Day, Diana, no matter who you end up dining with. So happy we are still free to do so!!

  19. Lol, I promise not to have a paint stained smock on but I can’t guarantee I won’t have paint splotches on my arms, hands or legs. Happy 4th of July! Have a blessed week.
    Hugs, Cecilia

  26. Hahahaha! Oh, girl! I WISH I could still feel good in a bikini! Lol! A tankini with a beach cover up is much more to my liking nowadays. But, thanks for the compliment! You're so much fun and I treasure our friendship! Love you, Diana! xo
