Happy Fourth of July!!!!

OK it's the fifth - but it's the weekend!!

June was a total success - the wedding in Jersey was wonderful - got to go to the Palace in Somerset for the first time - WOW - certainly a bride's dream come true!!

The wedding in Chicago was a great time - Brian's friend's son got married and a good time was had by all!! I would certainly like to go back to Chicago just to visit - got some glimpses of great places to go - when there's time.

Last weekend was the Reavey Centennial Reunion - everything went off as planned - no hitches or glitches - it was wonderful.. The people who bought the 'old house' in Brooklyn were wonderfully gracious and let us (yes all 48 of us) come in to see 'what they did to the old place' - It was unrecognizable! It just goes to show you what a little imagination can accomplish!!

Last night - the 4th - we went to see the Mets play the Phillies in Philadelphia - unfortunately the Mets lost but it was a great game and lots of fireworks in spite of the rain - I guess if you're in Philly on the fourth there isn't any chance of the fireworks being cancelled or postponed....

Well I'm spending the rest of the weekend planning out my new sewing room - lots of organizing and a little imagination should do it - Brooklyn inspired me!!!!

Peace and all Good,
