Happy Day everyone. I am working a long shift to help others enjoy the day.
Have to share this memory of a past 4th.
My Husband's family had a Family Reunion every 5 years around the 4th. It was a big 3 day gathering of about 100-150 people at a rural, local Bible camp in ND.
One year they planned a huge fireworks display. There was a huge bin fire going. They started lighting off the fireworks. Most were professional ones. All of a sudden, a fire truck and two police cars came in, lights and sirens on. Apparently, people were reporting the fireworks and the smoke from the fire.
Thankfully, we were told it was OK to continue the fireworks. 3 of the people shooting them off were Firefighters. My Husband's family was well known as local leaders in the area.
I will never forget that 4th of July.

Happy 4th everyone!!! Don't know what we're doing today but I bet it involves grilled meat somehow.
fernwood One year my brother in law went to SC for the REAL fireworks (can't get them here). We were lighting them off on his property and having a blast. He had all kinds and connected a bunch together and just caused lots of fun mayhem. I was standing towards the back near the gate. Every once in while, I felt the need to look over my shoulder. The last time I did I saw a cop standing there watching over the gate. I know he was there a half and hour! He was gonna wait til the end to give us a warning. My BIL says it was the Volunteer EMS plates that he has. Gets him out of a lot of trouble.

Him, my Husband and his Brother were shooting off fireworks at the end of the driveway. They were all into fireworks. All of a sudden a police car with lights on was seen down the street. Everyone ran to the back of the house. They waited about 30 minutes and started again. The next day, my Father in Law and Husband had a bottle rocket war with the next door neighbor's kid. One of the bottle rockets landed on my In Laws roof and started a small fire. Thank goodness for the garden hose to put it out quickly. My FAther in Law did have to replace some shingles.

Joey Chestnut gobbled 62 dogs for another win and Miki Sudo took the women’s again with 39 ½.
Let’s be careful out there and don’t park the babies in front row.
