Happy 250th Anniversary USA! I thought I would share a couple of my previous posts about some revolutionary soldiers and characters in my line

Abel Sutcliff Jr

Basil William Prather -His twin brother BaruchWilliam Prather (1742-1810) was also a Revolutionary Soldier

During the Revolutionary War, Baruch Prather served from Montgomery Co., Maryland, as a Private and then 1st Sergeant in Capt S. Swearingen & Col. J. Murdock'c Maryland Militia Company. He also had Revolutionary War patriotic service by Signing Oath & Furnished Wheat to the militia.

Another bloggers story about Baruch Prather

Baruch William Prather

Their older brother Samuel Pranther (1740-1785) also served during the Revolutionary War, but I know much less about him and his service.

Lastly, my favorite story is not about a Revolutionary Soldier but the Centennial Celebration and one ancestor who claimed he was born on July 4, 1776 - Aaron Teagarden

Art Idea from Deep Space Sparkle Art

My neighbor was playing The Gambler by Kenny Rodgers. That was the inspiration for the page.  Hopefully I put that sound worm in your ear.

Former President Biden photo bombed his wife, Dr Jill Biden's, zoom with our book club. We were having a discussion about her book, View from the East Wing. This zoom cracked me up. I enjoyed listening to the zoom.  The book was meh for me.  Book review is coming in July.

Recipe from Real Simple 2023

We had this for our book club dinner.  The only change I made was to use coleslaw and double the sauce.The mint in here was surprisingly good. Plus we made mojitos later in the week with the leftover mint.

Inappropriate Thoughts

I cannot lie I was really excited when our new dishwasher arrived.  We have a tiny kitchen, and this is a portable dishwasher.  I have been without a dishwasher other than myself and my husband since Mother's Day.  It may be small, but it is mighty.

We also have ordered more spoons! Where have all the spoons gone?  I totally relate to the sentiment above.

Deep Thoughts

We are at a kitchen crossroads.  Our kitchen needs a remodel.  It is tiny and I am not sure we can change that.  Buying another portable dishwasher decision was only choice other than a full gut.  All the electrical and plumbing. There was no electrical under the sink so installing a cabinet dishwasher was going to involve more than we could juggle currently.
