  Yeah..............

  I'll be standing by with my phone to call the firemen and my garden hose to try to put out the roof fire that the ghetto people (white and black........so don't take this as racist) in my neighborhood might set with their hundreds of dollars worth of rockets and whatever.

  They don't have money for the essentials of life other than beer and smokes but sure manage to spend a lot on fireworks.

  And while I'm in the back yard.........I will have my .380 in my back pocket for insurance purposes.

  I haven't had a fire yet (yet = your eligible too) but a couple of other houses in the 'hood have on this wonderful day of celebration.

  But now that I think of it..........my house is worth more on my complete replacable insurance policy than it is if I try to sell it.

  Never mind the phone and the hose.

  We just plan to relax this weekend (strange concept for us). We have my step daughter this weekend (she is 3.5), but we have to have her back on Monday before any fireworks shows. So. . . we are going to a local fair on Sunday. It has fireworks all three evenings.

  Our city used to be able to have fireworks, until last year they banned it. Kinda sucks.

  The husband just bought a new grill. He is so ready to fire that baby up! LOL So we may just stay home and watch the fireworks from our patio.

  Usually the whole family comes to my house and we grill out and shoot off fireworks ,then have a huge bonfire but with little rain and everything so dry it maybe just a cookout . The good part is that my house is so high up on a hill that i am see fireworks from about 4 miles all around.

  Have a great and safe 4th everyone

  We will be working on our house. Putting in a garbage disposal, 2 windows, repainting #1 son's bedroom, sheetrocking, plastering and giving a lot of money to Lowes.

  And amidst all that we will BBQ.

  We are celebrating Independence Day on Sunday, July 3, which is also my birthday - Independence being a double meaning. We are celebrating Rocky being DF'd (a few weeks ago) and thought it appropriate to celebrate the holiday and my birthday at the same time. We have about a dozen friends coming over for a BBQ, a couple of them are also xJWs. We will be setting off some fireworks, still legal here in rural Easterna Washington. This will be Rocky's first time celebrating the 4th of July holiday. Happy holidays! - Mrs R

  Definately gonna watch the fireworks. We usuallly drive up to this hill and park and watch. During the day think I will take the kids to see the new Martine Lawrence movie, rebound. It looks pretty funny. I love spending holidays with my kiddos!

  Valis,

  I had ya beat last year but not this one. I positively love fireworks and we usually do save a bit during the year to 'do it right'. The neighbors hardly buy their own anymore. They'll pop a few ground flowers on the driveway then pull up their chairs and watch ours go off.

  It's nice to be free from the WTBTS...
