Our 4th of July's are usually spent at my Mom's. This year we were invited to a birthday BBQ for the Pyrah's little girl Tori... but then we woke up sick that morning.
So again to my Mom's we went to light fireworks in the cul-de-sac. And to watch the rather frequent display of airborne fireworks by those who are willing to drive a few miles across the border to pay tons of money for expensive & illegal fireworks from shady roadside stands, risk border patrol by police and possible hefty fines for lighting them off. Praise to these people for I am too cheap!
In fact, to be honest, we spent the last two years hating the 4th of July because of the babysitting & cleanup we had to do as apartment managers whenever this "stupid holiday" came around, not to mention the anxiety of what would be smoldering when we got home from our own celebrations. Yes, it made us bitter... And it used to be my favorite holiday...
Nevertheless!
Thank heaven for a free country!
