Happy 4th of July!

The fourth of July has always been a big holiday in my family- and it's my Great Grandma Polly's 98th birthday today. She looked so put together and happy when we went to visit her at the nursing home... I want to surround her with love and let her know that I am there for her, even though she doesn't remember me. These feelings are contrasted with the new lives of my cousins who I got to know a little better at the parade today... no matter what- life goes on. Here's to freedom and new life. Cherish everything you have today. I'm off to watch the fireworks at my cousin Lindsey's house. 

love, polly 

Happy 4th of July!

I've been having a great time with family for the fourth and I couldn't be happier to be around the people I love.

My mom and the cake she made! (she also made that headband and top she's wearing.. she's so cute)

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! Are you excited to watch the fireworks tonight? I am!! I hope yours aren't cancelled........

love, polly

independence day outfit

Yes, I know.. I'm a bit late posting my outfit for the fourth of July. But, here it is! It was a busy busy day because it was my Great Grandmother Polly's 96th birthday! (I was named after her!) She was so lively and chipper that day- just happy to be alive and celebrating yet another birthday! I love seeing her happy! I really wish I could visit her more often..

so much for my new vintage shoes!

I saw a deer in this clover field after I left and thought about how much I had really missed being in Taylorville. (not enough to move back, though!!)It was a beautiful 4th. I love seeing the fireworks with my family every year.. and since I don't really watch television I felt like it was a spectacular treat that I've been holding out for. Hope your fourth of July was exciting!

love, polly
