Ready for our meal.
Good old southern favorites...fried okra, spinach casserole, red beans and rice, turnip greens and cornbread. With unsweetened iced tea to drink. YUM!!
Fourth of July parade! It was down home, a bit funky and not anywhere near Hawaiian standards. Plus it was HOT that day.
Boaters have their fun.
The best, and one of the few floats.
There was glitter and glamor.
A couple of cute oldies in the crowd. I'll bet they wear those outfits every year.
The sheriff got into the spirit.
This was the creed of a girls club of some sort. Wow! A lot to live up to.
This was our favorite group. The Any Griffith Rerun Watchers Club. Seriously! A police car followed them with Mayberry on it's license plate and several men dressed like serie's characters walked behind the sign. We also loved the ladies book club group that was celebrating its 100th year.
More parade going up the hot road.
Isn't she a looker? She's from the roller derby.
Mr. Sun in the sun..bet he is HOT!
This guy brought his red tractor.
There was a band, with tubas.
A pretty red car, probably in the parade because it is red.
Our group...Sara, Jen, Maddie, Kali and Buck.
The Venables invited a few friends over to celebrate the fourth. An evening of fun and sparklers.
We drove into the Smokey Mountains to spend the day with Sara and Rick's friends who were camping for the weekend.
Fun wading in the cold stream.
Kali holding baby Hazel.
An outdoor nap.
We had a lovely visit to the Ijams Nature Center in Knoxville. A scenic walk along the lake and fun looking at the creatures in the center itself.
A turtle for three.
A log for three turtles.
A pretty reflection.
Another great place to hangout with the Venables on a summer evening.
Capcup can be very funny.
Saturday market in downtown Knoxville.
Rock climbing is more fun than shopping.
Love that ice cream.
Even dogs are welcome.
Watching the dogs and people walk by.
Nana and Kali entertain themselves in the car.
Girls love to get their nails done.
Drinks on the porch on a summer evening...great!
Kali and Nana cuddle.
The fan dancer entertains us.
