A HUGE thank you to Betty, Paul, Bret, EJ, and Heather and all who contributed to a 4th of July that was the best ever!!!!
 
First off, the boat parade was a hit!!  Never had I seen so many boats decorated and lined up ready to take part in the boat parade!  It was a sight to see.  Awesome decorations and the creativity was outstanding!!  The weather held out just in time.......it was close thought!!
 
Next, the feast at Bret and EJ's house was FABULOUS!!!!  Everyone brought sides and treats.....I especially loved Jay Monroe's bacon wrapped crackers.  CRAZY GOOD!!!  We all want that recipe!!  Everything from Paula Deen's Mac n Cheese to Kale salad was laid out in their amazing lake house kitchen. 
 
Last, the party continued down the road to Heather Moody's gorgeous home.  Blankets and chairs covered the lawn as we all laid out under the stars for a fireworks show like non other!!!  NASA called and said it was AWESOME!!!!
 
I'm so grateful to be part of such a wonderful community.  I think Bret said it best....... "this is my escape and paradise for many reasons, but the most important for me is friends and neighbors."  I couldn't agree more!!  Well said, Bret!!
 
If anyone has any pictures to share, please send to the LEPOA secretary.
 
Till next time friends!
