Happy Fourth

[Cat]

Here's hoping everybody has a safe and happy Independence Day!

We're staying in this weekend, grilling burgers, swimming and watching war movies.

It's been raining so I might let the kids shoot fireworks. Last year they missed out because it was so dry.

I just bought enough fireworks to arm a third-world country.

I loved fireworks as a kid. And I still do, but I hate tossing away a couple hundred dollars on them unless you have a large crowd of people.

You can celebrate the 4th with a 5th, much cheaper!!!

I finally replaced the worn out flag mount on my house. The new one is much better.

So in tribute:

We just watched the fireworks from Lafreniere Park. A bit shorter and less dramatic than usual, but still nice. And free. And we can watch from my driveway... well, the upper half anyway...

We drove to our friends in Ruston for finger food and to jam (most of us are musicians) and have good fellowship with our friends. I was having a bad pain day but really enjoyed the company and music even though I didn't play at all tonight. My one drink was when I got there at 7:30 so I was stone sober when I drove us home at 11:30. On the way home on I-20 we only passed one pair of cops with their lights on on the shoulder of the interstate. I guess they were wrapping up paperwork on someone they just turned loose.
Hope y'all had as good or better a time. God bless all.

PS: As much as I love fireworks and guns, we are BIG time broke and even though we were literally 20' from one of the 4 Big fireworks stands adjacent to where we were, we didn't pop a single firecracker or fire any guns! Damn but I feel old! ;-)

Happy 4th to all my fellow soldiers!

Remember "ALL GAVE SOME , SOME GAVE ALL"

May all my fallen brothers Rest in Peace!!!

We celebrate the 4th for a different reason. When I was a kid my Grandfather's birthday was on the 4th of July. 10 years ago today Cassie & I met at a fireworks display in Irvine, CA.

I am a hypocrite. I went to pick up just a couple smoke balls and army tanks for the boy. We got a bit carried away.

Between me and Piper, we can take on the Mexican border.

Do you have the artillery shells called Excalibur? They're supposed to be this year's biggest seller. We'll see.

Ian lit his first firework this afternoon. I held the punk at the end while he called himself lighting a smokeball by guiding the end to the fuse, actually just taking the wobble out of the punk. We graduated to the little firecracker army tanks that roll and a race car that whistled and did a wheelie.

He had a blast, so far. So I guess it was worth the trip. He got a bigger kick out of the ones we've done so far here than the ones at Disneyworld.

Its raining here in Palm Beach so we are going to try and buy some fireworks and shoot them tomorrow. I think fireworks are illegal back in EBR parish.
