Hey,

Well if we are telling 4th of July stories here are a couple....

One year (before Gary and I were married) WOW..that has been a long time ago...haha....He and I were outside my house sitting on my car (old car thank goodness) and we had a sack of blackcats and were reaching in the sack and pulling out one at a time and lighting them...well somehow a spark from one flew into the sack and ALL OF "JULY" BROKE OUT!!! I bet there were 200 blackcats in that sack and they all started going off....Daddy came running out of the house and Gary and I took off running for our lives!!! From the fireworks and DADDY!! haha...It burned spots all over the hood of my car.....Thank god, my daddy thought I could do no wrong....I don't remember him getting really mad, but Gary sure was scared!!! hahaha
And when I was really young and all us cousins used to play, Arvin, Ricky and Kelton...I remember one year Ricky had some fireworks go off in his hand and I will never forget his burned swollen fingers....and the boys would also put blackcats in the mouth of frogs and light them....we sure were mean little devils!! I wouldn't dare let Boston do that....so don't tell him!!! It is a wonder we survived some of the 4ths.....We had some great Forth of July times.....
And Blair I remember that same time you were talking about too....that would have been Chick Edwards house....
love to all,
kittie
