The rockets red glare

Still "babysitting" my Mom, and forgot how much closer her house is to the space coast than Apopka.

We had a great view of the shuttle launch this afternoon . . . so close, it looked like we could just reach up and pluck it right out of the sky!

Isn't it funny that the best fireworks I've seen in years were shot-off in the middle of the afternoon?!

Now, we just have to worry about the glaring red rockets that Kim Jung Il is shooting-off in North Korea . . .

For now, though, enjoy your BBQ, apple pie, Chevrolet, and fireworks!

Happy Birthday, America!!
