Friday night was the poker game, didn’t do too badly. Being a holiday weekend, the turn out was light. Wade and Curtis showed up. We talked Jerry into playing too so we had a lot of fun.
Saturday we went to Mom and Dad’s. Mike and Sherry were there so, it was good to get away, have some fun. Becca spent the whole time in the pool. Teresa got sunburned real bad, I got a little and Becca only darkened up. She never gets sunburned, she just gets a dark tan.
Monday we came home and stopped by a friend’s party. We didn’t expect to be in town for it and by the time we stopped in, almost everyone was gone. We stuck around for a while as the lightning danced around their house and then went home.
The neighborhood was lighting off some really good fireworks. It was nice to see all the explosions and not have to pay for them this time. I used to be the neighborhood show. I’d blow up $300-$400 and really have fun. I’d make a trip up to South Carolina and get the good stuff. Mortars and Shells, 100′ rolls of firecrackers, really cool stuff. The whole neighborhood would come out to watch. The first year I didn’t do it, they came over to see if I was alright. Now I see that the roadside stands (just outside of Duval County) are selling them. Everyone has the “Disney” fireworks now and I don’t have to shell out the money. Cool!
