Happy 24th

Legal Fireworks

The Pauls' host a fabulous 24th of July party. There is always great food, and a fun time had by all. This year they had all legal fireworks. That's right no flashy, up-in-the-air, colorful, sparkling illegal fireworks.

Two years ago Brian had purchased some of those "illegal" fireworks. We all sat on the lawn with our chairs, and ooed, and awed, at the dazzling display of fireworks. They were speculator! Until..... a motorcycle police officer pulled up out of nowhere. I wish I would have had a picture of Brian with his headlamp on, lighter in hand, and big grin on his face, coming around from the side of the house ready to continue the show, only to find it ending promptly. No mercy was shown by the motor cop. He issued Brian a citation , as his young kids began to cry. That was the end of the "illegals".

The legal fireworks this year were splendid. They kids were even able to participate in part of the firework show. There were stunning bright lights, and lots of noise to keep us entertained.
