A "Grand" Fourth

On the morning of July Fourth, I got up early and decided to make a holiday of it by cooking good food. I didn't want to go spend a bunch of money buying groceries and so determined that we would cook what we already had.
Potatoe salad with lots of hard-boiled eggs, venison burgers made tastier with "All American Burger" packaged seasoning, shish kabobs from venison tenderloin and leftover corn on the cob, and very tasty homemade pound cake with strawberries and fresh whipped heavy cream were all on the menu. I texted the kids to let them know I was cooking.
To our delight, folks showed up including the grandchildren. Sometimes, impromptu gatherings are best. There is so much less pressure!

Cindi and I had on matching outfits.
Golf was the entertainment.
Handsome loves to play with his cut down to size club. He's pretty good!

It was great to see everyone who could make it to just hang out on a mid-week holiday.
Equally grand was spending casual time outdoors with the youngest members of the family.
