When Anne Marie was little, she wasn't quite sure about holding that sparkler.
And now, just some fireworks for you.
The flag at sunset
“You have to love a nation that
celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns,
tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and
muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad
gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten,
but it is patriotism.”

Anne Marie looks scared holding the sparkles. She has grown into a beautiful lady.
I love the pictures, and the quote!
*haha* Yes, sparklers are sometimes scary things for children. My Daddy (RIP) used to make me a stick to hold my sparkler. He's get a piece of wood from his workshop and drill a tiny hole in the end... and that's what I'd insert my sparkler into. So basically it extended the end of the sparkler by about 12". Perfect! I wish I had the last sparkler holder my Daddy made me. Happy 4th of July, Ginny. Love, Andrea xoxo
I have patriotism every day of the year then, according to Erma!
Lovely fireworks sharing Ginny. Be safe.
I love the sparklers and some of these photos are why i bought sparklers, way back when you posted the first few, i bought sparklers and they would not work like yours did... love the drawing with them
Love these pictures. That is so cool how your son did the drawings with the sparklers. I especially like the star.
I think I remember that picture of Anne Marie. She sure was a cutie and she does look a little unsure of that sparkler.
Enjoy your day however you celebrate Ginny, hugs

Happy 4th of July☺
Happy 4th of July! Yeah we live in America!
She was so cute...aren't you glad you have photos? Love the flag in the sunset.
cute photo of Anne Marie. We are not able to celebrate either. Our kids live out of the city limits, so they can have fireworks, but since we are in the CL, NO fireworks or sparklers here....
Bombeck was a great writer. Really great.
Happy Independence day a bit belated! That is a lovely sentiment Thanks for sharing. HUGS
