Fireworks
I’ve been known to act like “Gidget” while watching fireworks go off. Probably because I ooh and ahh while watching them. I also like to give them names…like these: Pistachio Afro, Snap, Crackle, and Pop, Red Zinnia in a Blender, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Tinkerbell’s Migraine, The Big Bang Theory, Bling Bling, Barbie’s bad perm hair day, The Alka Seltzer Plus Explosion, Mary Poppin’s parasol, Roulette Wheel Spinning, Ferris Wheel Riding, Fried Egg Sizzling, and The Electric Kool-aid Acid Blot Test.
Did you see any fireworks over the weekend? How would you describe them?
Postcards from the Road: The problem with ad-lib posting from the road at random times on borrowed internet connections without printers is that it’s not easy to make re-writes and edits. I apologize in advance if my standard of writing is not up to par and for not being able to visit my blogger friends as often as I would like. If you look hard you probably can find a typo somewhere in this message.
Special Thanks to my niece, Beth, for the above photo (taken at my brother Joey’s 4th of July cook-out) and her sister Chrissie for helping me format it.

These pic came out nice. Did you access from my house or figure it out from the library?
All fireworks were my favorite! I love them all!
Thanks for asking!

I posted it from your house, Chris-sea, but now I’m at the library futsing around…making corrections, checking my email, and visiting a few blog friends. My mother can’t understand why I’ve rather hang out at the library than the beach. I guess the times are changing. But I am ready for the beach now! Thanks again for your help.

I’m not looking for typos and if I do actually find any I ignore them. I’m impressised that you’ve been on as much as you have. Don’t forget to relax and enjoy the change of scenery.

You can relax too, you know, and probably should. We will be here when you get back; ready to hear and see what you have for us. Have fun!

We had one firework that was REALLY loud. We called it
“the one that set off the car alarm down the street and also really pissed off the next door neighbor.”

Love that one, Annie. I’ll be gone for 3 weeks, Fred. What blogger meeting am I missing? I do think I won’t be writing any long pieces like the Boston Tea Pary one any time soon…I couldn’t resist telling the story of that! Actually, yesterday was the first time in a week that I got to spend an un-interrupted hours at the computer, and I enjoyed it!
