4th Festivities!

We had a very laid-back 4th of July. Don used the cookbook I gave him for Father's Day and he did some Bobby Flay style grillin'. He made:

Grilled Filet Mignon with Fig Cabernet Sauce (that's a grilled fig on top!):

and Asparagus with Prosciutto and Mint Pesto:Plus I made a smokey potato salad and homemade ice cream. It was all crazy delicious!

Then we went for a nice walk and found some beautiful mulberry trees along the way. Pickle ate a few...

We stopped by a park we like that has a pretty fountain.
Pickle loved splashing her feet in it. There were some beautiful flowers: Later, Don took the boys to see a spectacular fireworks show and had a great time! I stayed home with Pickle because she goes to bed so early--it was actually fun just having time to myself! I watched Rosemary's Baby which is creepy, I know, but one of my very favorite movies. I love so many things about that movie--the mid-60s New York setting, the Dakota and their apartment,Ruth Gordon and Sidney Blackmer as the Castanets...I could go on and on!

I read that they might be remaking this movie in the next couple of years and I kind of hope they don't--some movies just don't need to be remade (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a perfect example--I won't even see that remake because I don't want to taint it).

I'm getting totally off track here so I'll just say hope you had a happy 4th!!
