Tonight I watched the Longue Vue Club fireworks from the end of my driveway as usual. Then I realized that this is the last night I can watch them like this. When I get into assisted living everything will be different for me. Another tradition gone. However I can start new ones when I get to my new place!

*hugs* David! I understand the feeling. When I was a kid the family (my parents and my cousin and her kids) went out to a local lake and shot off fireworks, safely . I was sad when I went off to college and had to form new traditions. The last few years I have spent fourth of July in different places so I kind of look forward to the newness of each year now.

This year a friend of mine is over and I am just sitting...I was a klutz and sprained (I hope all it is is a sprain, I have to call the dr monday) my ankle so I can't walk on it. I took something for the pain though so Im ok as long as I don't stand up lol. I'm glad I have a nice hubby!

Happy fourth of July everyone! Stay safe. *HUGS*

I just got back from watching the fireworks. I don't go into Boston for the big fireworks and concert - too much congestion. Instead, I go to Newton's fireworks. I love it, as it is such a great cross-section of humanity in my diverse little city - Walking in and back, I heard Russian, Chinese, French, Spanish and a couple other languages I couldn't identify, as well as several different regional American accents. It's always fun.

Thanks for the {{{{HUGS}}}}, DJF. You can use some, too with your sprained ankle. I'll be among friends there as it's run by the LCMS and I'm familiar with the grounds there. I'll probably be going to a good Lutheran church there, St Luke in Cabot.

Once it cools of a bit more Ill head to the lake and see if anybody is launching fireworks.
