A hot, hot, hot day in Lake Bluff, but you felt guilty staying inside in the air conditioning. We had an early brunch for those who wanted to go the annual Lake Bluff parade and cooked hamburgers for the later crowd. So it was brunch, the parade, going to the lake, cooking hamburgers and enjoying dessert. And just as the day was ending about 5 o'clock , the transformer by our house blew up and we were without electricity! So to cool off, we spent the fourth of July night with our feet in cold water foot baths, sitting on the front porch, just like our ancestors did on the Fourth of July probably 100 years ago.!

What a great place to be on the 4th! Sorry about the transformer, but at least it gave you cause to stop and relax after a busy, fun day.
ReplyDeleteOMG!, I just read the blog! I am so sorry about the loss of power. I guess you didn't have to worry about being outside on the 4th of July after all.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for a special afternoon. Your home and the delicacies offered were all beautiful.
And I just read the blog! What a great recap of a terrific day! Other than the transformer part, that is.
ReplyDeleteWere you able to sleep in the heat? We were so happy to be a part of your grand Independence Day tradition! People in Lake Bluff DO have more fun!!!
