Fireworks

i cleaned the house tonight and i'm sitting here watching csi: miami... i know- bad in, bad out... anyways, i hear this noise and i'm like what was that? i hear it again and again so i mute the tv and finally figured out that someone was setting off fireworks, the BIG ones!! the city set off fireworks this year (or the base?) for the 4th... (we didn't have any fireworks in 2005)... my first thought when i hear fireworks is this memory (it always is)... when i was little the city used to set off fireworks at the mall (now at the base) and we lived like 2 minutes (maybe) from the mall... we eithered watched from momma & daddy's roof or from the "neighborhood" pool (it was kinda like a community pool you had to join.. i loved it there!! i am a water baby!!!) anyways, back to the fireworks... they set them off right over us... the fireworks were so big and beautiful... i would sit there mesmerized and in awe... it was like they were right on top of you.. this is one of the best memories i have of growing up... it was like, during those 30 minutes you had nothing else to do or think about... you just sat there and watched this amazing show that is being put on for you... i haven't seen fireworks like that since i was little... i would love to see a show like that again...
