It's a big weekend for us...
Big Bubba is coming home. We haven't seen him since we went out to Arizona in February, so absence has certainly made our hearts fonder. Monday is his birthday... he'll be 26. Time does fly, doesn't it?
He'll be here a week. We have all sorts of things we would like to do with him but we don't want to overdo...
So we'll make suggestions and allow him to make selections ala carte. One of the options is to go to St. Louis for the fireworks display. They do it REALLY BIG there...
They pull a barge out in the middle of the river in front of the Arch, and in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators on the Arch grounds, shoot fireworks from the barge for half an hour. I'm told these displays, sponsored by Macy's department stores, cost nearly a million dollars. I believe it too...
Unlike the displays we saw as kids, there is never a second where the sky doesn't have one, or several explosions entertaining you.
I have fuzzy memories now of going to the Meridian Drive-In theater on July 4th to watch the fireworks display there. I can't remember... did they shoot the fireworks between movies or at dusk?
We will have a good week catching up on life with our son. I hope your weekend will be a safe one, whatever your plans.
So what are your plans?

Hope you have a good week with your son.
I think the Meridian Drive-in had the fireworks between the movies. It seems to me Mom and Dad had to wake me up to see them. I also seem to remember a lot of people leaving after the fireworks.

That is where we always went to see fireworks if we were in Indiana and not Tennessee.
The fireworks was between the movies and we always went home as soon as they were over.
Hope everyone had a Happy & Safe
4th.
