Happy Independence Day ...

Today has been a very important and emotional day for our family.

As I'm from Brazil we have been watching soccer and the World Cup this whole month... Today we had a very important game for Brazil and we won ... And it was so great for me to have my friends here in our house with us to watch the game and then quickly transition to our 4th of July - independent Day festivities ... It makes me so proud to be Brazilian but to also know that a huge part of me is now an American ... So proud to be here in the land of the free and in this great country who accepts me for who I am...

So, today I want to thank all of you, my friends and my family, who have helped me to "become" an American in my heart, to love our country and our land and to be so grateful to be here.

Hope you are celebrating and having fun with your family and friends... We are enjoying a great day together... Enjoying a great dinner, a delicious desert, and a little bit of crochet.

Happy Independence Day to all of you !!!

4th of July Happy Memories

Hi there I haven't been here for a while...

But betweeen having two teens, a full time work and a family time is such a luxury for me sometimes... but I want you to know that I do miss you all...

I wanted to share a little bit of our 4th of July celebrations...

First it all started on Friday when I decided I was going to make a small table runner for my kitchen table... no matter how small I wanted it to be I knew I was in for a little challenge...

so I worked on it on Friday night ... and I worked as fast as I could...

But...when I got here I didn't really like it ...

So I had to abandoned it...which is something that I don't really like to do...but I don't like to spend time on something I don't really like either... :( 

So, unfortunately I don't have enough time to make one for this year anymore...

so maybe next year :)

We still had a great time on 4th of July on the parade in our neighborhood and with our kids and our friends...

The only thing missing was my table runner...

I sure think it will be a good idea to start on it a little earlier next year...
Although...

I managed to finish this wreath which I have been wanting to make for a couple of years...

Happy 4th of July everyone...

and Thank You to all of those who have made it possible for us to Celebrate Freedom today!!!


And do come back to visit me...I really love to hear your comments and interactions...Hope to see you soon, Tchau!!!
