Friday night fireworks

Right up there with coffee and wine, books and hats, canines and movies and Minnesota lake country, my list of loves also includes fireworks.

I’m not really sure why I love fireworks so much. They’re loud, pretty, and typically associated with some kind of special event or holiday.

But I think I also enjoy them because they command a certain type of respect. When fireworks go off, people stop what they’re doing, pause their conversations, and watch.

Not too many other things in life so easily and quickly grab our attention.

And then there’s the firework smoke smell. Yum!
We kicked off our weekend by going to the Royals game on Friday night, and after every Friday night home game in Kauffman Stadium is an impressive fireworks display. It’s a fun tradition that’s been kept up for quite a few years now.

We’re flying off to Mexico later this week to spend a little beach time, so we won’t be in the country for the 4th of July.

Sorry. I just had to type that out one more time.

Moving on.

I was glad to get a few fireworks under my belt this weekend.

It made my list of loves very, very happy.

P.S. What’s on your list of loves? Do you allow yourself to enjoy them as often as you can?

P.P.S. Firework smoke smell! You’re a fan, yes?
