  We met up with Jo & Megan at the park and got a great view of the fireworks show.

   I like 4th of July and everything, but I guess I can’t see what firing Chinese-made fireworks has to do with Independence Day.  My cruel, practical mind thinks that If we’re doing anything, we’re just celebrating our dependence upon China by increasing our trade deficit.  Most of the time I can just save these thoughts for the rest of the year and have a good time with friends and family-and also remember our nation’s founders and their ideas of liberty.

Happy Independence Day!

     Last night we visited the Suerman family who we had met at the dancing lessons.  They had gotten a whole truck load of fireworks from last year and we really had a blast. 

    My favorite though is when they’d light up sawdust in a bucket and then throw it-it looks like a mushroom cloud from a bomb.

   Naturally, with me being the most cautious one with fire, I am the one who got burned…trying to light a sparkler.

  I’ve got a lot of things to post, but I’ll eventually add a video of our final fireworks show.

   Until I post again…Happy 4th of July!
