Recently when our older grandchildren have called we have begun reminiscing of the "good old times".ahhh!! so sweet!!<br /> <br />Now let's talk about the fire works,Unfortunately they are legal here, lucky for us we live out in the country. I enjoy them, on July 4, and at the state fair, the pretty ones, however your neighbor's sound like a gun being shot, that's no fun!! I am finding that people are becoming more and more inconsiderate of others!<br /><br />BTW~ the Sue you mentioned was not me, I promise!! ~grining~ You know I wouldn't do that to you, I adore you to much!!<br />Enjoy your weekend,<br />Hugs,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-33041262569767219272012-06-23T17:55:43.333-04:002012-06-23T17:55:43.333-04:00We are tinder dry here so it will be on the ground...We are tinder dry here so it will be on the ground stuff here and only in limited areas. I liked how insane the texas folks were with fireworks in vacant areas and the traditional blow up the Christmas tree with fire crackers on New years.

Fireworks are not legal within the city limits here, but as the 4th approaches, you wouldn't know that. And there are exceptions for organizations that are able to obtain permits for the 4th so my poor cats will be cowering under the bed on July 4 as the country club around the corner (right in the middle of town) puts on the annual show for their members and torments the neighborhood pets. There was a letter in the editor in today's paper suggesting that people honor the USA with flags instead of fireworks.

They are not allowed to be set off anytime but on the week of the 4th of July - anything after, they should be given a ticket . . . hahahahah! It is illegal here to set of anything that leaves the air, so bottle rockets and such are not sold here, but they can easily go to Wyoming, which a very short distance and purchase really big fireworks! So sorry that you are having to deal with all the noise!<br /><br />Your grands are so adorable - what a fun way to spend the day!!<br /><br />Have a wonderful Saturday!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-39431273276373805902012-06-23T12:52:34.067-04:002012-06-23T12:52:34.067-04:00They sound like gunshots!

The only time we might here them here in the country would be for a wedding, graduation or Canada Day celebration. There was an uproar in Fredericton last fall then the repair work on the Princess Margaret Bridge was done and the construction company decided to celebrate at night with fireworks. <br />People didn't know what was going on and called the police. End of story. I hope you enjoyed the parade with your grands marching.

Our city bans fireworks but the city across the street from us doesn't so it really doesn't matter. We start hearing the fireworks about a week before and a week afterward. You can buy fireworks on the Indian reservations around here all year long.

I'm sure that the state of Maine allows local governments to regulate the use. I would be petitioning your local officials to get something on the books and then hounding the sheriff's office for enforcement. Your frustration and anger are certainly justified.<br /><br />Our county prohibits the sale and use of fireworks. However, fireworks go off out here in the county around the 4th of July. We used to set some off to entertain our next door neighbors (who had a handicapped daughter) when we lived on the acreage. But we always completed our little 5 minute entertainment well before 10 o'clock. And we were lawbreakers ONLY on the 4th of July. I still remember Marsha's giggles echoing across the yard in the dark of night. <br /><br />The sheriff's office is very tolerant of this slight civil disobedience, and only intervenes when things get out of hand. Fireworks the remainder of the year is not tolerated at all.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-14158242652549671832012-06-23T08:40:38.938-04:002012-06-23T08:40:38.938-04:00Oh my NO they are illegal here in almost every cit...Oh my NO they are illegal here in almost every city except way out in the country and even there they are banned a lot...too many fires and dry land around here.
