Yummy discovery!!!!

You *know* I turned those pictures before I posted them, and, lo and behold, you still have to crank your head over to look at some of them. Sorry folks!

Fireworks last night were AMAZING! Here in Burlington, VT, we have them down on the shores of Lake Champlain, looking out over to NY. Gorgeous sunset, great seat down on the rocks, jazz in the background - mellow and excited at the same time.

Best new discovery? I couldn't find my earplugs as we headed out the door, but got a tootsie roll at the store on the way - and - don't pick on me for this one *too* much - tootsie rolls make great earplugs!!! A little sticky to take out again, but I didn't flinch away from the sounds of the fireworks for the first time EVER!!! As a result, I got to really enjoy the show - right over our heads due to the winds, and WOW!!!!!!!!! Too fun! I was clapping, shouting and squealing like a little kid, and it was just grand! Tootsie rolls *forever!!!!!* (and I got to eat the rest of the roll. NO - I did not eat my used earplugs - no Bertie Botts Earwax flavoured jelly beans for me! Even with chocolate mixed in! Ew!)
