Anyone have anything special planned for today?
A couple of my sisters and I will probably put off some fireworks after dark. We were thinking of having a cookout but I'm not sure if we will yet.

Yeah, we got some fireworks and were hoping that our young nephews would be around to see them but my sister and her husband went up to camp for the weekend along with some of his family that flew up from Florida so the kids won't be here. But we still enjoy the fireworks as well.
Last year a neighbor down the road had some major fireworks ... probably the illegal kind (not positive) ... and those were nice. With any luck he'll have some nice ones this year as well. LOL

It's rainy here this year, so we don't have any fireworks here.

Yesterday was kind of interesting. We had fireworks going off, and lightning from a partial monsoon that swept through. There was one time, I missed it though , that fireworks from someone's yard went off at the same time some lightning did, and the entire yard was lit up. It was amazing, all the lightning and fireworks being shot off illegally!

It was amazing, all the lightning and fireworks being shot off illegally! That sounds like it was a nice sight! And blu, it rained here as well. My sister and I went to the movies last night and when we were leaving the theater we could tell that it had been raining a good bit while we were inside but in between the light rain people were putting off fireworks. On the way home, it rained off and on and once it was darker, my sisters and I did put off some fireworks. I was kind of glad that it had been raining because the neighbors on the hill behind our houses love to aim their fireworks, that shoot high in the sky, over our houses and that happened again last night. Once, a few years ago, the neighbors did that and we found the sticks from the fireworks on the roofs of our houses and in the yards.
