Good evening, amom....did you have a quiet time last night? Noisy neighbors? The city fireworks display was at 8pm with temps about -10. I would have gone if I had a little people to take. Minimal neighborhood fireworks, as they are not legal anywhere in the city (LOTS quieter than years past).

[Kathy in Alaska]

Pleased to meet you, Tigger and Emily. You are both quite handsome, or beautiful, as the case may be.

[PERKY2004]

Very quiet here last night...no neighbors to speak of so it was very quiet...’cept for the rain...tonight it’s the wind; blowing at about 25mph.

At -10 I’m not so sure you could drag me out to watch fireworks. Nice that it was quiet for you though. I see you kept busy regardless. ;-)
