Think we can defend our title?
Every year, our community has a Fourth of July house decorating contest. We always look forward to it, and this is the 6th year we've competed. We've won every year except once. Here is a pic of last year's entry. This year we have all that...although not in the same places...and a whole lot more. We even painted a huge flag on our lawn.
Today is the judging. Wish us luck as we attempt to defend our title.
If the mailman knew that my heart races when the UPS man comes by, would he still bring me freebies?

Wow! That looks really nice and put together.
Some mornings it's not worth the effort of chewing through the restraints.

Looks great! I love that Uncle Sam cutout. question - how do you paint your lawn? Can you post a pic of the flag you painted?
Sometimes, the good you do doesn't do you any good.

Re: Think we can defend our title?
This was the first year we painted our lawn. We simply used cheap spray paint. I'm not sure what it'll do to the grass...we took our chances. It turned out quite nicely, and I can post a pic as soon as I get one. (New digital camera...haven't quite figured it out yet.

Re: Think we can defend our title?
Judging was yesterday...if we won, we're likely to get the call today. Apparently the new camera is defective, so I'm just going to go buy a disposable and quick take pics and develop.
Reporter from our local paper contacted me yesterday. Expects to come out and do an article on the decorating contest and our "Hometown Celebration" this weekend. I'll let you know.If the mailman knew that my heart races when the UPS man comes by, would he still bring me freebies?
