Does that make you the wicked stepmother?

A wicked Mother in Law to say the least, lol

[Andybev01]

Oops; that is what I meant.

[Murfreesboro]

Congrats to your daughter, Witchy!

Thank you everyone, we just booked the venue for Sept 25, 2021, yeah!!![

They are both so excited!!/color]

[Murfreesboro]

I guess they are planning a big to-do, then, if they are waiting over a year.

[witchy]

About 130 to 150 people but the venue looks like a castle, it's beautiful!

I so hope this covid thing is done by then or at least contained!

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone!

I do plan to grill up some burgers for the 4th, but no fireworks for me this year. I am trying to save every penny for a down payment on a new car. So there's no fireworks budget this year. On a more optimistic note, today is my 8th day without a cigarette, so I just might have a great fireworks budget for next year.

Happy Fourth to one and all!

Yes, and happy belated 4th of July to you, too.

Thanks. We had a nice time. No swim, because the pools we normally use are closed. But we grilled and then saw the community fireworks. Nashville gave up on them, but Murfreesboro went ahead with the show in a new location. People watched from their cars and played a local radio station that coordinated patriotic tunes.

That sounds fun, Murf.

A city south of us put on a show from a hilltop that could be seen all ovr their valley.

They had live fire training exercises the previous week but still managed to start a brush fire.

They did plan ahead however, and the local fire stations were on site and ready.

They actually finished the show and THEN put out the fires!

When we would have our big family fireworks shows, after it was all over, we would put all the 'spent' fireworks in a pile and burn them. That, in and of itself, made for an interesting 'show' of a different, all be it, more dangerous kind. One year we decided to put everything in this huge metal can and burn them. We did that for 'safety' reasons. Little did we know that there was an unexploded ariel bomb that was thrown in. We lit the fire and got away in case of stray pops, sizzles or what ever. Then that ariel bomb went off, and blew that metal can into SHRAPNEL. That was the last time we used any kind of a container to burn our 'spent' fireworks.

We were all very happy and lucky that nobody was injured in that.

That must have been spectacular!
