Chargerz Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Just a quick post wishing everybody here a fun and safe 4th!! God bless America! We're going to a friend's house for a potluck and to watch fireworks. The food selection will include brats, hotdogs, ribs, baked beans, baked potatoes, etc, etc. I'll obviously be drinking Coors Lite from a "cold activated" can! What are you doing on the fourth???

Chargerz Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 enjoying a small parade I love Fourth of July parades!! There's one here in Coronado every year that has lots of bands and equestrian groups and enough floats to make it interesting. I may have to make that part of my itinerary tomorrow.

A daughter of a friend of my cuz. We were getting ready to leave and Amy said "Can you wait a bit?: I said sure. She put her video on. What a great production! Just great pics of her life and near the end she showed pics of me, my wife, and my mom with very sweet comments! Dammit...a tear came to my eye. I guess I never realized how much we all meant to her life. Congrats Amy!!! May you have a happy life! Thank you for including us in your life!

BeeR Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 "S.O." and I visiting her ex-neighbor - older lady who has out-lived most of her family/friends and surprisingly people like her neice aren't hooking up with her, so we are. She just lives in the basement of her sister-in-law and is getting kinda fragile, so we're gonna grill some burgers and bring em over. Not checking fireworks, not worth fighting the crowds etc. Have some of my own I brought so we'll have our own little show and get tanked here.

Jackass Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Checking out fireworks and drinking some cold ones. Just remember, if you're driving, don't drink. And if you're drinking, don't drive. (There's already been several accidents near where i live.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Stopped raining around 5:00, went the the complex where I work in Itasca. Headliner was SmashMouth, and boy were they rough, until the final 30 minutes when they decided to cover some old Van Halen and Beastie Boys...they got a lot better. The best fireworks show I've seen in many, many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 The best fireworks show I've seen in many, many years. That's interesting because the fireworks show we saw was only 15 minutes long (down from 30 in past years) and alot of the other fireworks displays around our county were cancelled for lack of funds.
