So we set the grass on fire . . .

How was your celebration?

Nahh, it wasn't that bad. We even had a handy garden hose at the ready.

But still, when you manage this -

It is a bit embarrassing.

Kids loved it, by the way. The fire was from those damn morning glory sprinklers - like napalm, they are. Anyway, we took a break after the fire, waited until it grew darker and then went out and did the air explosions. Much better.

Now we're inside, safe and snug, watching the huge display over the lake which is quite visible from our backyard.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

LOL. Just be glad you didn't have to call the fire dept. As we were coming back from downtown, we passed three firetrucks speeding in the other direction. We were just happy they weren't heading toward our house.

Yes. Talk about mortification.

To become part of the service call record, part of the city fire statistics for the 4th?

We'd hear about it for weeks!

I would love to call cantdog for help. He wouldn't make me feel silly about setting our lawn on fire.

Then again, he's in Maine.

you'd be on a first name basis with the fire department?

Hey, don't feel bad. You were smart enough to catch it early with the hose. My friends and I burned down most of somebody's house with fireworks. We felt soooo bad. It started because we were trying to be responsible and clean up after ourselves. We picked up all the spent stuff and fireworks trash from the lawn and put it in the dumpster. Two hours later, the dumpster caught fire, the garage caught fire, and the house was next.

Even though all the trash was cool enough to pick up with our bare hands, there must have been something that was still smoldering inside. I can only console myself that nobody got hurt, and I was a teenager at the time. I'd like to think I've learned from the experience. All our fireworks trash goes in a bucket of water now until its soggy. Only then do we put it in with the regular trash.

At least nobody was hurt.

We discreetly set our tree on fire a few weeks ago. The fire dept. didn't run their sirens on the way, so we thought maybe everyone within a five mile radius wouldn't know we had to call them. It was all cool until they let my son sit in the fire engine and honk the horn and turn on the siren. I think my SO is telling people it was our kid's birthday.

Too bad they weren't cute.

Our Fireworks were, ummmmm, interesting.

Went to the annual Fourth of July Celebration Downtown and pigged out on cheap food once again.

Then we sat back and people watched as it grew dark. Oh the show ws great and I had my wife running back and forth to the restroom with my comments. (It is absolutely amazing what people where to these things.)

As soon as it grew dark the Fireworks started. Our city puts on a great show complete with music.

Well when the fireworks were over we strolled back to the garage, climbing six flights of stairs to the roof because of the overcrowding in the elevators. (I like to know whom I am being groped by.) We both knew it was going to be quite a wait until the garage cleared out enough for us to leave, so we dumped our folding chairs in the car, grabbed a couple of cold drinks from the cooler we had thought to bring along, (A Mikes Hard Lemonade for her and a Soda for me. I had to drive.) then stood behind the car watching the personal fireworks going off over the city.

Hmmmm, did I mention my wife was wearing a white, tight and thin blouse as well as a nice skirt? Did I also mention that it started to rain while were walking back to the garage? No? Well it had and that rain as well as her outfit combined to make quite the impression on me.


Well one thing led to another and we made some fireworks of our own as we stood there waiting for the traffic to thin out.
