A Porta-John (no relation to you!) is placed at the edge of the field every year close to our fence. Kids love to throw firecrackers into the Porta-John to hear the loud report. One year they lit the whole thing on fire and let me tell you, those plastic parts burn HOT - darn near caught our fence on fire. Smelled real good too - NOT! I'm not partial to fireworks!Donna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161069942110860372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915504922543569175.post-12713441126775615252013-06-28T23:04:02.706-05:002013-06-28T23:04:02.706-05:00Low profile is best to celebrate the holiday.Low profile is best to celebrate the holiday.John Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775467781360772348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915504922543569175.post-914709929852893092013-06-28T22:37:24.444-05:002013-06-28T22:37:24.444-05:00I agree staying put is the best way to enjoy the h...I agree staying put is the best way to enjoy the holiday.

I hope the fireworks stay safe. Nowadays they worry me, no matter where I am.<br /><br />My 51st is this year, too. I've only gone to one reunion, but my ex-husband, who was my high school boyfriend, goes every year. Just not my thing, I guess. :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915504922543569175.post-8542513646444666422013-06-28T15:33:27.163-05:002013-06-28T15:33:27.163-05:00Wow, although I love watching fireworks, it is a b...Wow, although I love watching fireworks, it is a bit unnerving when the weather conditions are what they are right now.
