Posted July 3, 2017 I grew up with weinie roasts that consisted of hot dogs, potato salad, baked beans, chips, and marshmallows. We would gather wood and build a bonfire that we would roast the hot dogs and marshmallows over while enjoying fireworks, food, stories, and family. The only thing I wish we included that I would do now is a good beer. I wanted to go home for the fourth, but it isn't meant to be so I will do my best to reenact most of it tomorrow night. Happy 4th everybody! xoxo, Samantha Sheppard 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2017 My favorite memories are from grade school days. My dad (and half of the other dads on our block) would set off fireworks like bottle rockets, fountains, roman candles, whistlers, spinners, and smoke bombs, The teenagers would set off Black Cats, ladyfingers, and M-80s. Us kids would play with sparklers, and be thrilled! Now I like to go to a high spot, and watch all the different displays once it gets dark. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2017 As kids my friends and I liked to go out the morning of July 5th and collect fireworks which did not ignite and either light the ones with short fuses or grind up the others for mischievous fun. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 3, 2017 Days gone by more than a few beers, pop the screen off the upstairs bedroom, grab the 870 Pump and let off 3 rounds. Neighbors never complained and I did that for 10 years. Those days obviously are long gone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 4, 2017 Its made with a combination of beef and pork usually. It looks just like Brat Wurst, except it is longer and usually thicker. Normally sold in a roll, several feet long. Its the spice that makes it so completely different!! Its heavenly! I think you would enjoy getting your mouth around this sausage! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 4, 2017 My best memories are driving with my Dad up to the milemarker 2 exit from I-25 in Wyoming (just south of Cheyenne) and going to the fireworks stand to buy a bunch of illegal (in Colorado) fireworks: roman candles, black cats, M-80s, etc. My second best memories are loading up my sons and driving up to the milemarker 2 exit in Wyoming (just south of Cheyenne) and going to the fireworks stand to buy a bunch of illegal (in Colorado) fireworks: roman candles, black cats, etc. (they don't sell M-80s any more). Shooting them off is fun, but the real fun is spending two hours in the car with your dad talking about how you are going to break the law. (It started early in life.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
