And now...I'm going to rant a little...

2 things. People who text and fireworks. RUDE.
We'll start with texting. There is NO reason for it. Don't do it while you drive, or while you're standing in the MIDDLE of the aisle at the store, or in church, or EVER...it's rude. Plus it removes you from the real world. You are at a disconnect. Do you REALLY believe that texting back and forth is in depth, meaningful conversation? CALL. PEOPLE. Visit people. Get in their lives, learn about them...love them, embrace them, support them. Be in the moment...But by all means....STOP texting. You're gonna have a wreck.
Kay...now...fireworks. Is it really necessary to spend your HARD earned money on something you just blow up?? At 11 o'clock at night and then bright and early at 7:30 in the morning??? It hurts my ears...it makes my dog freak out...it wakes my kids up....and something is gonna catch fire...I just know it. Or you're gonna blow your hand off. I'm glad we're free...I'm thrilled to live in America, wouldn't live ANYWHERE else...but can't we celebrate with food?? Ya know, a fruit pizza carefully arranged to look like a flag? Hamburgers are good...Cookies...chips. Streamers and balloons even. But let's not blow stuff up...It's terribly unsafe and highly annoying.
ahhh...much better...thank you and goodnight...

I think that this is SO curious, bec when you were a kid, you Loved to go blow things up w/the Kline family on the 4th. They spent
100's of dollars on fireworks every year! I was always amazed at how they wanted to spend their munny....

When we were at the Chalet during the 4th, we blew up balloons and stomped on them, mimicking fireworks...The rest of the folks from other countries thought we were "quite mad"....

I love you! Happy 4th! Now, go make a sno-cone and some deviled eggs....xoxo

We had neighbors blowing up the BIG ones at midnight last night. It made the dog bark, but the fans in the baby's room (it's been in the 100s and we have no A/C) apparently drowned out the fireworks, thank goodness!

We are going to go out to a tiny town to watch a PARADE for the 4th! Have a happy day!
