We have just a little less than two hours left for this July 4th, 2014, and fireworks are still booming all around us. And I love it. I love everything about the 4th even though we don't do much. Flag was flying in all its glory!
For many years we have had such drought conditions that people just wouldn't dare shoot a fire cracker for fear of burning down their house. Lots of rain has made this year different. I have never seen such personal displays...........EVER!!!!!!!!!!! They are huge............as big as those provided by the local parks and towns but provided by our neighbors. Tonight we didn't even leave our neighborhood. The Midwest City fireworks are just ramping up, 8 miles away, just as our neighborhood displays are dying down. And just think, California is just beginning their fireworks. Don't you just love America?
To me, the 4th represents everything good about America. Stars, Hot dogs, fire crackers, hamburgers, barbequed ribs, star-shaped sunglasses, homemade ice cream, picnics, fishing, boating, red-white-blue, corn on the cob, sparklers, potato salad, flags, and over-the-top firework displays. Maybe you had at least one of those today.
Happy 4th of July America. We'll see you next year..........with stars on!
I love you.....AMERICA, AMERICA.
