When she was a young child somehow she dropped a lit one in her shoe and burned her foot. She managed to terrify me that somehow something terrible would happen to me if I ever held one and to this day I never have! My grandchildren came over last 4th of July and wouldn't you know it my son let them hold lit sparklers - I nearly had a heart attack, but of course had to keep my mouth shut!Teresa Wilson Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07340825601857084302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-28257189783150836752013-01-09T14:27:27.109-05:002013-01-09T14:27:27.109-05:00Wendy, I am pretty sure I had both those pairs of ...Wendy, I am pretty sure I had both those pairs of pants in the second photo!<br />I had lots of games, but never MONOPOLY.

I think that I went to bed at 9:30 this year, not even bothering to make an attempt.<br /><br />About 12 years ago, I lived in a neighborhood who had some darned good fireworks on New Years Eve. I went to the dollar store and got a bunch of those "poppers" and other fireworks to give to the kids. That was one of my most fun New Years Eve celebrations ever. <br /><br />Are you a lot older than Mary?<br /><br />Kathy M.<br /><br />Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-17158002390195748642013-01-06T09:48:14.563-05:002013-01-06T09:48:14.563-05:00I enjoyed this happy story.
