I'm getting to be a bit of an old lady, I guess. I can't be bothered with the traffic and hassle, so we're choosing to forgo the hooplah on the 4th this year. Instead we're meeting some good friends for some good food. Fortunately we did get to see some fireworks tonight. Two local churches teamed up for a "Freedom Spectacular" right here on the island. Mostly they had bouncy things and face paintings, great fun for the little kids. We arrived early, left the teen to wander about with her friends, gossiping and laughing. We walked to Starbucks and back, taking advantage of the treat receipts earned from our morning coffee run. Back in time for the fireworks, we experienced an impressive display. Boy, do I love the power and majesty of a fireworks show. Maybe we'll head downtown after dinner on the fourth...

Mmm. Those treat receipts get me every time! It sounds like fun out there on the island.
We enjoyed the view from our upstairs bedroom window. No traffic and air conditioning too!
I'm with you. Hoopla's not in my vocabulary. Luckily we live near the fairgrounds. They'll be shooting them off Saturday night.
