Good morning, thanks for the Fleet Report and Daily! Happy Independence Day to my American friends - celebrate safely, please. Neither DH nor I are huge country music fans, but realize there is a huge following of that musical genre. While it's not hot enough to cook an egg on the sidewalk today, last summer someone in our city did bake a tray of cookies on their car's dashboard. I agree solidly with today's quote. It's another beautiful day in the works out there with lots of sunshine, so that means outdoor activities for the family. I think for lunch we'll be packing the picnic basket and heading to a park where the boys can run around to their heart's content. Yesterday was tons of fun with lawn sprinklers, sprayers, bubble makers, etc. The visit from DH's sister was appreciated because she brought treats - ice cream and cookies; she knew what she was doing! LOL @Cat in my lapsafe travels to you, and Bon Voyage! @kazuyou just can't get a break, can you? Hopefully today's much better. About the jam - it can still be used as a lumpy but delicious syrup. I think today's menu suggestion sounds good, but a certain 7 year old has asked if we could have quesadillas for dinner tonight. Who am I to deny such a request? It's looking like it's going to be an easy dinner for me to make tonight - quesadillas and coleslaw. I'm going to use @Quartzsite Cruiser's idea of the red white and blue salad for dessert, as we have lots of fruit in the house. We'll have a great last dinner together on our deck tonight. And wine. Prayers for everyone who needs them and even for those who don't think they do. Extra for the people of Ukraine who are having to put up with endless shelling. We'll raise the glasses to celebrate all on the happy list. Stay safe, wear masks when needed, get those boosters, and be well! Smooth Sailing! 🙂🙂🙂 Gerry

Bon Voyage - for the first time ever, thanks to CC I "know" all 3 of these folks! Wishing them and all who are sailing with them a wonderful time aboard the BHB's!
