My family from California when they came to visit. It was a special time and was so glad to have them here in person for awhile. Vance, Leta, Danny and me captured in a selfie taken by my brother.

Fourth of July, 2009 Two

The pyrotechnic people in the neighborhood came through last night. We had fireworks all around us. It was really nice. The people up the street must have had quite a crowd in their backyard. Lots of cheering and chants for more. The show in the back was not quite as spectacular but nice just the same. It is nice to have such accommodating neighbors - didn't have to leave home to see a nice show.

The lightening bugs enjoyed the show as well. All the sparkles in the sky really must have excited them because they provided a "fireworks" show of their own afterward. Did not realize that we had so many lightening bugs in our yard.

The bugs brought back many, many childhood memories of spending warm summer nights catching them - only to let them go later in the evening. The cousins would have contests about who could catch the most. It was always fun to play with the cousins.

Hope that your shows were as nice as ours........
