With all the towns around here not having them this year I think our fire danger will be up. Not to mention injuries. Everyone is going to do them themselves. You can go across the border to Indiana and get some really good stuff. Around here they have been setting off fireworks for about a week now. It usually goes on for another week after fourth.Happy 4th of July, it is also rainy in Colorado. Colorado Springs will not be doing fireworks this year, however, Ft. Carson is opening theirs to the general public for the first time. You have to jump thru hoops to get on base so it remains to be seen how many civilians will be able to get in. At least our fire danger is way down so that is a good thing.![]()
I hope everyone has a great 4th! Be safe.

Misty will certainly be safe today - she'll stay in the garage because it's COLD AND RAINY!!!This is the kind of weather that makes me go on road trips to anywhere south of here!
I hope the rest of you are enjoying significantly better weather and have a great, safe 4th of July!
Do you know how many of your direct ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War? I started with my Gr Gr Gr Gr Grandfather Jesse Law to become a member of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. Since then I have discovered four more direct GR GR GR GR Grandfathers and several of their brothers that also were involved to give us the freedoms we enjoy today.![]()
Sunny Santee ... Low 80's .... family and friends - we'll swim, BBQ and watch the local display at night. They still tie the display to the patriotic music that you can "tune" to on one of the local radio stations. Most every locality ties into it. So if you are down at one of the beach displays the choreography is similar ... we can see 2 cities firing off from ours ...
In the little community where we live, we have a Pearl Harbor survivor, and a good number of war veterans. The front drive into the gates are lined along the curbs with little tiny flags all the way in .... someone goes from home to home and plants a little flag in front of each of the 300 mailboxes.
I love the 4th of July .... for all of the reasons... that we celebrate our Independence - and pray that we always will ... from all countries; that we honor those who are fighting and fought; and that we come together and remember that.
It's pretty interesting to hear how the 4th is celebrated ... my favorite is my girlfriend in Franklin, MI .... they still have a local "parade" through town, bike, trikes, cars, people just walking and waving flags ... wagon floats, participants "throw" candy to the watching children .. whatever - and the whole town dresses up in patriotic colors/outfits (girls with glitter, ribbons and sequins) to watch it ... music is provided from the school bands ... Now, doesn't that take you back a step? Pretty refreshing and sounds great to me.
Yep .... Happy 4th to you all .... !!
