How big or small is your 4th of July celebration.

We go to my brothers for a BBQ and watch fireworks from his front yard with family & friends. Feel thankful that we still get together, may not always be that way. I know some people may not have anywhere to go, but I hope you still find a special way to spend your day, and it will pass quickly.

Just going to have an early dinner BBQ at my SIL and BIL. Maybe 8 or 10 people in all. I'll be home before it's dark enough for very many fireworks.

With my sister..........big plans for us.......or me........at the beach now and it is so beautiful and I love love love it.  Food is great and even the water from the faucet at the hotel tastes great to me.  Then to a big city on the 4th for Firewords.  I am so happy me and my sister are getting close. Something I have wanted all my life.  Blessings to all and be safe.

It's nice to read such a positive post from you. The beach is a wonderful place to relax. We are blessed to live across the road from the Atlantic.  There's nothing like going to sleep, then waking up to the sound of the surf. 

 

A sister bond is very special.

We're meeting my friend and her husband for lunch at a barbeque restaurant and then coming home and that's it for us.  Can't get much smaller than that.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Re: How big or small is your 4th of July celebration.

When we were young we partied on the 4th, someone was always having a BBQ.  

 

Then when we had kids we mostly stayed home.  Sometimes people would come here and sometimes not.   We'd spend a couple hundred dollars on fireworks and light them off.  Almost nothing is illegal here.

 

Now we watch everyone else do it and just stay home and relax.

Re: How big or small is your 4th of July celebration.

We are staying home and watering the roof---I live in WA state and its been so hot and dry for the last couple months that everything could go up in flames. And we have a shake roof----------the dumb a(s)ses in our neighbor hood shoot off illegal fireworks that make the whole house shudder and evey year, our yard and roof are littered with that debris. I can't tell you how freaked out I am!!!!!
