Remember the 4th of July when you were a kid? I never once saw a fireworks display during my childhood. We had sparklers—and maybe a few of those tiny firecrackers that come in a roll. My parents actually let us shoot off a few of those. I allowed my son to do this, too, but I don’t think I would now.
My sister and I loved sparklers, and they were more fun when we played with them in the dark front yard with our friends. The Fourth of July has never been much of a holiday in our family. I adore fireworks displays, though, and always watch one of the extravaganzas on television. Now, I have a big screen television, so I can’t wait to watch one and turn up the sound. Love it!
I wish each and every one of you a very happy holiday!

Happy 4th of July, Celia! I'm not American, but have intense memories of one particular 4th of July celebration in Geneva, way back when I was a teenager. Romance was in the air, the hambergers delicious, the fireworks spectacular, and the boy I had a crush on was such a (Swedish!) sweetie. For me, the 4th of July will always be connected to that one, special evening, so many years ago.
