With Liberty and Gelato for All!

 Happy 4th of July!

Or as some say here in Austin,
Happy 4th of Gelato!
The morning was hot and muggy, and since my usual
"parade buddy" is in Colorado enjoying the 4th,
I decided to forgo our annual neighborhood parade 
and take myself to Central Market for a cool gelato.

Liberty and Gelato for All!

 The gelato bar at Central Market was loaded with 
4th of July tasty treats!

 There were more than a dozen choices.  All with clever titles.
~ 4th of July Cake Batter ~ Liberty Lemonade ~ 
~ Red, White, and Blueberry ~ Yankee Doodle Candy ~ 
~ Star Spangled Banana ~ Red Velvet Revolution ~ 
~ American Pie ~ Patriotic Peach ~ We the People Watermelon 
~ Corn in the USA ~

My choice:
 ~ Baby You're A Firework! ~

 A fun way to celebrate the 4th of July!
Happy Birthday, America!

Before leaving, I traded my cute flats
for my Courtly Check rain boots.

Because this is 4th of July, 2018 in Austin, TX.

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    You look so cute posing in your CC boots Sarah! Gelato is a great way to cool down in this hot and muggy weather. Send some of that rain this way please. ♥

    You are just so chic, Sarah! Central Market sounds good and so does the rain. We didn't get wet yesterday but it was unseasonably cool. We loved it! Hope you have a wonderful time at the barn sale!

    Dearest Sarah,
    Oh my, how clever you got well prepared with your perfect rain boots!
    You had me laugh out loud with the Star Spangled Banana gelato... Oh my, for inventing all those names is on itself a job.
    We too had heavy rain in the morning and noon time but lovely later in the afternoon when we drove to our friends' for a lovely dinner with 6.
    Happy belated Independence Day to you and yours and glad you enjoyed it.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    Sarah, I love gelato and I love your cute boots! We have rain off and on here in SW Florida these days and I expect with the talks of hurricanes we might be getting more. Have a great and wonderful day.

    Oh you cute thing in your courtly boots! Talk about gelato heaven. It would be almost impossible to pick a goody from all of those. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
