In a memorial day tribute today the speaker said that in war, the only ground the United States takes from other countries is the ground where its servicemen are buried.

What's everyones plans for the 4th? I really hadn't given it that much thought...Dakota and my oldest niece start the all-stars tourney this week and that's been on my mind. I made beaded zipper pulls for the team in red/white/blue, made myself and Kota and my niece's bracelets and sis and I cell phone charms, cuz that's the team colors and my aunt bought me a bunch of beads for my birthday, a lot of red/white/blue. It kinda tickled my mind that all this would be good for the 4th and Darren mentioned having Friday off for the holiday, but it didn't really sink in. Sis was talking about our plans earlier and I said huh? Same plans as usual, bbq at their house, swimming for the kids, and then heading out to our normal spot in the desert across from the fairgrounds to watch the fireworks. From where we're sitting we can also watch the fireworks at the baseball stadium after the fairgrounds show is over too. What's everyone else doing?

I will probably be standing in my yard with a garden hose all night. We haven't had rain in forever, only a small shower yesterday. I live in a state that thinks it is wonderful idea to set up firework stands and sell to any man, woman or child that wanders up with a fist full of dollars. You would think that year after year children getting seriously hurt (the worst to date is a couple of years ago, two kids lit the fireworks while both them and the fireworks were in the back of an enclosed van), but no, twice a year the stands pop back up.

Well after last yr with the summer ruined by fires for months.... and living in a state with NO money, I dont really get spending thousands of dollars on these fire work shows....they are not cheap.... I will be like Biloxibelle...holding a hose and praying that I dont hear about all the fires that started by ding bats that set them off in dry/yellow fields and are acting all like fools.... (I got lots of fools in my nieborhood).... I think a nice bar b q and family swim time like Wargod sounds very nice.... We have a farmers market here that day and craft fair with live music, and I like that kinda stuff so think Ill do that.

Canada Day is tomorrow, the 1st of July. Tomorrow is also my 1st wedding anniversary, so I'm not really sure what we're doing. I'm sure the evening will end with fireworks, though, LOL.

For the 4th, I am like Wargod, it only just occurred to me that its this weekend, LOL. We close early on Thursday, have Friday off and I havn't got a clue yet what I am going to do. I would love to stand and water the lawn but we are under strict water rationing! I must remember to get my flag out! I totally missed flag day.

Thanks, Jimmer! We planned it that way. It's one of our favourite holidays, and there will forever be a day off and fireworks on our anniversary. One of our wedding photos has us standing on a Belizean beach with a Canadian flag behind us, lol.

Geez, I'm really off, I was thinking Canada Day was this past weekend! Fireworks, other than the two city approved shows (the one the city puts on and the baseball stadium) are illegal here in town, however people go out of town to buy them. We'll spend the first part of the evening watching people set them off then hearing the cops and/or fire dept heading towards those trying to catch and fine the people setting them off. Like Dipo, we're under water rationing here too so no watering the lawn.

Thanks, War! We're off for a bike ride around Stanley Park's seawall and maybe a burger and fries on the beach when done. Vancouver is having its first annual Canada Day parade this year and the route is only four blocks from our place so we're going to go down and see that (starts at 7pm) followed by festivities and then fireworks. Looking forward to a great day.
