sbucciarel Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I'm glad I saw fireworks Sat night. It's calling for thunderstorms all night and showers all day today here, so my plans with one daughter and grandchild may not happen. Happy 4th to all.

It's calling for thunderstorms all night and showers all day today here, so my plans with one daughter and grandchild may not happen. Happy 4th to all. Sorry Suzanne! Nothing like little one's faces during fireworks! It's so dry here. They're begging people to not set off fireworks in the counties they are allowed, but you know that isn't going to happen! There's already a fire in the county next to ours. I'm praying no one is stupid enough to set them off around here. One, it's way too dangerous right now, and two, I'll be up all freaking night with the dogs. I love watching them, especially on Independence Day! The big cities really put on spectacular shows, but live is always better! Happy Independence Day!!! To those that don't celebrate... have a super day as well!!!!!!!!!

To those that don't celebrate... have a super day as well!!!!!!!!! Living so close to DC for 16 years before moving here, I went to the DC fireworks many times. Drive to subway station and take the train in and train out. Only way to go and they are spectacular. But the smaller display Sat night (with 3 of the grandkids) were very nice too and less stressful to get to and out of. I'm hoping for a window of no rain to take one grandkid to do some fun stuff, but at least she did get to see some fireworks. Khemosabi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenMichaels Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 This is the one holiday I really look forward to each year. A group of about 100 of us get together at a friends who has a lake in his backyard. All the adults chip in 100 bucks a piece and buy the best fireworks money can buy. Best barbecue and light show ever. Of course every year we ask ourselves ... how the hell did no one get hurt ...lol Good times Happy 4th !

Claude Whitacre Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 What the 4th of July means to me is a deep thankfulness that I get the day off work, to go shopping with my wife....and my cat gets to hear fireworks for the first time, and will undoubtedly be scared shitless.

Someone let off a load of firecrackers last night. Both our cats rushed in and hid under the bed. Shameless, fearless, mini tigers of the jungle that they are.

Jill Carpenter Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! WOOT! I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST HOUSE LAST NIGHT! It is a glorious day! Paying cash, so no mortgage and say goodbye to storage units forever. Closing after I get back from a trip to Nantucket before the month is over. I finally have one place to put all my stuff, and I'm going to get a kitty cat, and I am going to plant some coconut trees and loofas (even though I was told those could get stinky), and I'm going to have my own mail box that is mine, and I can paint the walls and stick up some solar panels and YIPPEEEEEEE! I am FREE at last (except perhaps the lawn that will need to get mowed). And you can all come and visit me in Cocoa Florida!

Lanfear63 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Nonsense, we ran out of toilet paper so had to leave. You outcast farmers of course used dock Leaves. One must keep one's standards up you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tagiscom Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Thanks, but it is the day after the election, so not much to celebrate here. I knew l should have voted for the Pirate Party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kay king Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Congrats, Jill - so happy for you. No mortgage? That takes a lot of pressure off, doesn't it? I know you'll happy to be in ONE place with your stuff in ONE place. Jill Carpenter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umc Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 This is the first 4th that my wife and I could celebrate. We're going to a house warming/Independence Day party tonight. Unfortunately it has been raining and raining here so fireworks may or may not happen but it should be a good time. Happy 4th to everyone!

JohnRogers Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Happy 4th everybody! My wife went to ride her horse, so I went for a short hike in Olympic National Park. I plan on doing absolutely nothing for the remainder of the day. Khemosabi, Jill Carpenter, HeySal and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kay king Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 No fireworks for me - till next weekend....been raining here for two days - just a steady, solid rain. Oh - well - something to look forward to next week, I guess. Meanwhile the parties and cookouts still went on - been chowing down on leftover cider braised spareribs and chicken smoked for hours on a friend's grill. I may never be hungry again.
