Most of my days were spent in the kitchen baking, cooking, and doing so many loads of dishes that my hands turned to prunes. Okay, they just got all pruney... Word Check tells me there is no such word but I can assure you that they are pruney.
The guys did all the heavy duty deck cleaning, Miss M. started the decorations, and then I brought out a lot of my Americana accessories from the family room.
Here are some more pictures...

We were blessed with a rain free day. It was hot but much less heat than earlier in the week. Just minutes after these pictures were taken, the deck became crowded with hungry people!
Now... I plan to rest for two or three or four days. ;)

That looks like a perfect deck party.
(Oh that small round table looks like what I need for my deck instead of the larger one that simply doesn't fit. I think I saw one similar at Wally World with the chairs I see there.)
You made everything very special for the 4th of July. It looks like the kind of party anyone would enjoy.
Hope that you get the rest you need over the next few days. Lots of cooking and much hosting wear a person out while at the same time making things so much fun.
It all looks lovely. It is always fun playing hostess, but you are right ~ we may need a few days of rest afterwards!
Oh, I wish I could have crashed the party...!!!
Makes me tired just thinking of all that work!! But I am sure it was a fun party too...and if everyone helps, things go easier, huh? You have earned a good rest!!
My days have been spent helping daughter move and getting stuff needed for her...shopping more than usual...but we have couponed quite a bit and it is fun hunting for things...just wish we had a bit cooler weather!!
