| Bag of roasted Peanuts for a DOLLAR |
As I blasted through Wal-Mart at 6:30 AM on my Saturday Shopping Trip, I noticed a LOT of Red, White and Blue..... YES! by some slim chance I had MY CAMERA in my pocket!
MadSnapper thinks! Snap these! how appropriate for the week before the 4th of July
Current day, we celebrate Independence day with coolers full of ice and drinks.
In 1777, thirteen gunshots were fired in salute, once at morning and once again as evening fell, on July 4 in Bristol, Rhode Island. Philadelphia celebrated the first anniversary in a manner a modern American would find quite familiar: an official dinner for the Continental Congress,
Current day, we go boating on Independence Day
In 1778, General George Washington marked July 4 with a double ration of rum for his soldiers and an artillery salute
What would
you get if you crossed George Washington with cattle feed?

You found loads of red, white & blue. Those coolers and peanuts won't be on the shelf very long.
Giggling over the jokes!
Fodder of our Country ..... giggle!
I'll have to take your word (and picture) for W's red, white and blue as I resolved over a decade ago not to step foot in their stores!!
Happy 4th!
Best,
Bonnie
Beautiful flag header!!
Hey, I even bought red, white, and blue sprinkles for cupcakes, just because they looked so cute and fun and on the chance that the grandkids show up...
I'll be checking out those dollar peanuts at Wal-Mart!
Lot's of red white and blue again, but I love it:)
Nice jokes - thank's for the laughs.
Have a great day!
Fresh peanuts sound good and the jokes are cute! Yay for the red, white and blue!!
you really are crazed...
Love the red, white and blue post! I'll definitely be grabbing some of those peanuts.:) Very cute post!
It's very fortunate that you just happened to have your camera with you. I know that rarely happens!
Gracious me oh my oh mercy! You HAD your cam with you?!? -giggggles-
I like that 1777, thirteen gunshots salute, of Bristol, Rhode Island. :-)

I just joined you. I'm #209 for you. Good blog. cute post today.
You always make me laugh! Great colorful shots! We hope to see the fireworks up here in Maine this year ... at least from our deck we hope. Happy 4th!
You are definitely too bright and shiny at 6:30AM on a shopping spree. Good grief, I was so happy the alarm didn't have to go off at that time last Saturday.
Love the red, white and blue photos.
My brain wouldn't have been in gear to think about that and take the pictures.

Mad Snapper has been at it again...stalking the red, white and blue at 6 dark 30 am. Great shots and post.
Hugs Madi and Mom

Looks like you're doing some serious gearing up for July 4th, at least mentally. Me to. It will be a great day with family. Hope yours is wonderful. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on Sunset Sunday.
In a comment in my blog, you said you don't know who Tasha Tudor is. Well I can not let anyone go on, not knowing anything about Dear Tasha.
Hmmmm, I seem to have forgotten how to easily leave a click-able link, in Blogger comments. -pout- Will try to just type the link, and see if it comes out... click-able.

Ding-it, no! It did not come out click-able.
Think... Think......
HERE...
I think I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slim chance you had your camera in your pocket...LOL
Wow, you had your camera on you. I'm so surprised....lol
We even do our weekly Walmart trips on the same day. I don't usually take pictures but I think I should start doing that.
Love the jokes, so cute
Kudos for snagging the red, white and blue photo opp! And in spite of the negatives people often find about WalMart, I have to credit a precious white-haired lady who yesterday knew just where an item I was looking for was located and even went and got it for me so I wouldn't have to navigate the store's motorized scooter through narrow aisles.
Since my stroke last year, shopping can be overwhelming. Just goes to show, when you least expect it, good things can happen. It is not the first time I have encountered angels at WalMart!
What a fun post! You've made me smile.
Just came across your blog from At The Farm....very cute. I've not noticed the red, white and blue at Walmart but now gotta go check it out...for grins.
Yes, you sure did!
I told my grandson the joke about the flags and he thought it was funny. I am a Wally World girl - and I was just there the last three days.
Love, sandie
haha..I am telling these jokes on Wednesday!
you crack me up....
