Satin and stars
Hmmm, sounds like something that Mattel would've named an old Barbie outfit, even though my bow doesn't really have satin on it. Regardless, here's my bow for today, an oldie but a goodie from the defunct MyBubblyLittleBaby.
This bow is one of my special ones, as it was the first patriotic bow my mom got for me. I knew it wouldn't be the last since Independence Day is so special in my family, but it was my first. Putting it in is a little fiddly because the pinchy part of the clip is on the left, I'm right-handed, and the left side of my body is weaker overall than my right. I don't know why.
Right now it is hot and dry in the Bootheel, with copious smoke in the air from forest fires far north. The heat is not scheduled to break until Sunday, so Mama and I are camped out with Uncle Man-Child. Last night he hid in his room and I didn't see or hear from him until midnight...when he woke up to have breakfast of all things. I was up visiting the facilities then, but we just ignored each other. Anyway, as dry as it is around here I've seen and heard very little in terms of fireworks. One idgit galoot did try to burn his wheat stubble off, but the fire got away from him and dern near took out a corn field before the fire department got there. So, as I often say during this time of year, be careful with fireworks! I'd say that every year at least one house catches fire due to someone being careless, and a couple'a times the houses in question burned to the ground. I don't want that next house to be mine, my mom's, or the house of anyone I know, so I've elected not to bother this year. The city is having their show away from the residential area, so I'll go to that.
LOL, now, story time. My mother told me that before I was born Daddy and my other uncle (the one I like) went out to my grandparents' place to do their usual firework thing. My dad's folks lived on a farm five miles west of town, and that year the grass was bone dry. Shoot fireworks my father did, and he and my uncle spent a lot of time stamping fires out. Mama admitted that she had to turn the hose on a couple of 'em. She said it was a riot, watching her brother and her husband running here and there to stamp out this small fire and then this one, but everyone learned a lesson that particular July fourth. After that we shot our fireworks off over a fallow field.
