Oooops.
I see I slept through all the fireworks.
But I hope all y'all had a great one, anyway.

About Me
- k
- I'm a nice quiet middle-aged former bankbuster, disabled since age 32 with a myriad of weird health issues. I love heat and humidity and odd hobbies like fossil hunting, tromping around in the Everglades, backyard bricklaying, and rescuing plants damaged by our spate of hurricanes. Oh - I like to live-blog hurricanes, too.***** I have a wonderful life. I'm one of the happiest people I know. Why? I don't know.***** I also have nightmare memories in my head that would send some folks around the bend. But that's another story, one I don't tell much, and I seem to have made it past the horror parts pretty well.***** I have nothing to prove so it's hard to insult me. I know who I am. I own the space I live in - and I don't mean just my house. My life is way far from perfect, but I'm content.***** For some readers, that would make this a boring blog. For others, my fun adventures, absurd health episodes, and particular way of looking at things keep 'em entertained enough, in the end.

Had a quiet one. I bought some roasted chicken and potato salad, some already cubed watermelon, and some Krispy Kremes. We set off a few fireworks in the front yard, and then watched the rest on TV. It was a good day.
The dogs hated it. (WE adoted two of them, brother and sister, last Christmas). One was frightened enough by the popping fireworks and the thunder cracking that he had a couple of accidents on the rug. (He refused absolutely to go outside...) so he sat on my lap and shivered. I told him, it's ok, little dude. I know you're doing the best you can.... He's glad it's over! But we here in Utah have another one coming up on the 24th (Pioneer Day) to celebrate with fireworks and parades, etc., so we'll see how it goes.
Turns out that Chuckles the WonderDog doesn't like the combination of thunder and fireworks either. We were driving home from my mom's house ('bout 100 miles from our house, close by Texas standards) and suddenly I had a lap full of 35 pounds of long legged dog. Shaking, shivering, panting dog. Near as I can tell, he levitated from the floor between 'Pup and I.
'Pup just said it was a good thing for all of us that he didn't try to get into 'Pup's lap, as it would have made it a little difficult to drive.
Ha! I'm with your dogs, me. I hate the sounds of fireworks, any kind of explosives really. When I realized I'd slept through it all I was intensely relieved! One of nicest 4th's in a long time.
