July 4th is one of my favorite holidays...no pressure of gift giving, decorating, or baking...just getting together with family and friends to eat, eat, and eat! Then, to top it off, watching fireworks! Who could ask for a better way to spend the day? So, since we are missing out on all of the get togethers and food today, everyone in the U.S. needs to eat an extra hot dog, hamburger, piece of watermelon, and slice of apple pie for Steve and I.
Enjoy the day and be safe!

P.S. This is a photo of the fireworks that occurred in Beijing during Chinese New Year's in February. The fireworks are set off by local people...not the government...all families set them off because they believe that the noise of the fireworks will ward off the evil spirits and that they will have a great new year. Anyway, because the fireworks are not organized...people set them off non stop for 2 weeks...at the end of the 2 weeks, they are illegal again until next Chinese New Year. This photo is from the height of the celebration on the eve of the New Year...and the photo definitely doesn't do justice to how many fireworks there were and how loud it was!

So how many people get burned by fireworks on the Chinese New Year? Sounds a little freaky to me!
Sould like a normal Honegger party to me
