What a fourth! My neighborhood has a huge celebration almost every year. One neighbor does the day long party complete with all the traditional dishes and barbecue and games galore. We also have a few resident pyros with friends at the fireworks stands. Serious noise and light let me tell ya. I wanted to hide under my pillow and peek one eye out. It was almost a sensory overload the fireworks were really spectacular. I am so ready to sleep peacefully tonight without all the noise. I think everybody started "practicing" fireworks about five days ago and I don't know how others do it. I have to work in the morning and if I don't get my sleep I just feel yucky no matter how good the coffee is :)
Just wait til' Halloween~
