How are you spending your 4th of July?

I'm just hanging around the house this afternoon, later my daughter, son-in-law and my baby granddaughter are coming over and we are going to a fair work display in a small community where my stepson lives. It's not as crowded as the big displays that go on at the county courthouse or some other places around. But they do a good job and it's more relaxed and easier to get out of when it's over because there is not as many people. We are taking a cooler and snacks and have a tailgate party before it starts. There are also some craft booths and things set up to keep us occupied before the fireworks. It's a nice and relaxed atmosphere. No way would I go to the big commercial displays - I stopped going to them a few years ago, we would watch 30 minutes of fireworks and then take over an hour to just get though all the traffic. It's not worth it.

Well, we finally live in a state that allows fireworks again. This is the one time of year that we are allowed to be pyros and people actually approve. Heck! I even had to go get a permit from the city to allow me to be a pryo! ha ha I seriously think it is just a way for them to get money. Because the permit doesn't do anything! It did not even come with a safety training class!

We have put a couple of bookcases into place. I have made a bit of money today online. Organized some more information, balanced the checkbooks and seen the tractor go by with information about the doings at the fairgrounds for tonights festivities. Being new in town we will quickly find out the best ways to celebrate. Out in the country on our property we would get up on our roof and watch the fireworks. Now that we are in town we might have a front row seat. Wish us luck. Also have the crockpot goings and hubby is enjoying the cable programs that he normally does not get to see. He heads back to work tomorrow. Sunday is the demolition derby day!!!

we just had a small barbeque out in the yard. i made a huge batch of potato salad the night before,and my family had dug into it already before morning. no fireworks here either,only the ones the town puts on.

At the moment nothing. I'm bored and in a real blah mood. My husband had to work today. So it is just me and the kids for now. Later my parents are going to come over. We plan on cooking hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill. Then later we are going to try to go see some fireworks, providing it doesn't rain. Which it has been doing all day so far.

Hello morgandrake, I am gonna be here in myLot discussing things. The fireworks are at the fairgrounds, I don't care too much for the traffic, so we will be staying home. My wife works today and when she gets home we will probably grill out and listen to the noise of the fireworks and see the lights over the trees. My wife will want to watch a DVD. Peace, Totty

Have just returned from Brighton. The weather is fine, not hot. Don't have to go to work, life is goooood! ;-)

Sleeping and putting together a puzzle has taken over most of my day. Now, I'm watching a King of the Hill marathon on TV and I'm here on mylot trying to get my post count higher and higher so I can finally reach 3000 posts. I probably won't do too much more tonight.

happy july 4th...well i live in canada and our holiday was on july 1 (canada's birthday!) and we went to a citizen ship court to see my two adopted nieces (from china) become canadian citizens...that was very cool...also very interesting! then went to a bbq and went to some friends @ night to see fire works, sorry about your wife, i also have asthma, but my issue is ice cream (i cant eat it because i cannot breathe afterwards!) we also had monday off as july 1 was on sunday which was nice..hubby and my two daughters and i went to a park and just relaxed... today was just another working day for us canadians!! (well most of us lol)

We do not celebrate 4th of July. But today was a great day. My nephew turned 6 today and all the grandchildren had a little party at my mom's place today. It rained a little too. My brother and his family arrived from cape town on Saturday and so we had a chance to spend some time with them as well. I took a days leave which my boss so graciously gave to me for the day and it was really great. After that I went to Edgars and got myself a pair of jeans, I got Carl two pairs of trousers and my son got john cenna takkies, john cenna t-shirt and he got the deoderant spray as well. So he was really happy. So that was our 4th of July....

We did all our celebrating over the past weekend. We celebrated my grandons birthday which was july 3rd. Today it rained all day long, and it's still raining. So we are just hanging around the house.
