We made it!
Everyone was here for the fireworks show and it went very well although my brother-in-law did get hit in the face near his cheek. A couple inches higher and he probably would have lost an eye!
But it was nice to sit with my kids and watch the show. Fireworks have sure come a long way since I was a kid when all we had were sparklers and snakes. (Maybe the fireworks were around then but my family did not buy them....hmmmm...I wonder why?)
Anyway, I just wanted to update everyone and say we are all ok....whew!

It's not the kids we need to warn that they might lose an eye! LOL! Dr. John sent me.
Glad to hear everyone is ok!!! We loaded up ( in the rain) and went to the fireworks display on the river...it was very beautiful even though we all got a little wet! lol. Dr John sent me!

Thanks for the comment and the stop over. I appreciate it. The fireworks were going off here in Chicago till 1 a.m in the city.
Please stop by again soon.

Thanks for the nice Forth of July I know it was hectic.
Came from Dr john and you know why.
Fireworks are beautiful but dangerous too if mis managed.
Here from Dr. John and BTW, thanks for dropping by.
I am glad the injury was no worse and that everything else went okay! It rained here but I still heard all the booming from the fireworks on base.
We went to some fireworks once when our kids were young- one of our sons was about two and when those things started going off he grabbed his dad's leg and yelled, "We gotta get outta here! They're shooting at us!" I got here by way of Dr. John's marathon.
Glad to hear that fireworks went well, I did not get any this year, it has been so dry here and I was afraid that I would send the neighborhood up in flames so we stuck to sparklers.
I am here on behalf of Dr. Johns marathon today
Hey,Lori .... I found your blog by way of Dr. John. I enjoyed my visit. Was nice to read your entries and to get to know you through your writings. By the way, I can relate to your comment about 'things going wrong with fireworks.' I seem to be a magnet for the stray firecracker, bottle rocket, or fountain that falls over. LOL Tina
Lori, thank you for visiting my blog. I just read your bio and I want to say -- I am a "Princess Bride" fan, too!
For the 4th I ran a sump pump and cleaned out a friend's pool -- but she rewarded me with a great bbq meal.
Thanks for the visit!. Hope you viist again soon. Man, that is scarey about your BIL, is he ok?
Hi! Dr. John just had a post about being careful about losing an eye! Glad to hear your 4th was okay...gotta be careful with those firecrackers!
Wow, Lori, reading your last two posts, back-to-back, was an ironic and kinda scary experience.
I stay away from fireworks (except for the big, public displays). Now, I know why!
Y'know, it's all good fun until someone (almost!) loses an eye!
Hey that was a good fireworks display and aside from pat's little mishap it went well. What is life without a little danger?
