What She Did Next....


See the little flame man climbing up the 12 inch match? He and I were singing this song..

I'm a little fire bug, short and stout,
Light a match up and hear me shout...


When I finished burning the sparklers, there were all these tall matches, just begging to be burned.

It All Started at Wal-Mart- Day Two


Determined to Burn Them All, I spent a full half hour in the yard, trying to get 5 sparklers that I taped together to ALL burn at the same time.....  NO, the tape did not catch fire. Neither did I.


Did not happen, as you can see above, it burned one and even with all that fireworks, the others did not catch...

I just kept burning until they were all five burned out. To see just how awesome these were, click on photo for slide show view.


I set the Rebel on TV 1/125 and continuous fire mode and snapped my snapping self crazy.

The End of my Redneck Fireworks in my own back yard....but I did do something else while doing this... Coming soon to a blog near you.

It All Started at Wal-Mart


I walked in the door at Wal-Mart and there they sat, ghosts from my past. SPARKLERS! I have not held a sparkler in my hand in about 60 years... ONLY $2.00...


I filled the little pot with dirt and stood 2 sparklers in it.... they would NOT catch with a match, no matter how long I held it there or how many I struck.


I come inside and get the propane fire thrower that I use to light candles... OUT OF PROPANE


Bob says, don't you still have the 12 inch matches? Yes, she answers.... I take the box that has been in the kitchen drawer for more than 10 years outside, and they will NOT light on the side of the box.


Bob Says.... I have a lighter in the garage I use to light my torch... I get the lighter..... I walk outside....


I snap the lighter, the flame hits the Old Match, FLARED, Right on my finger.. OUCH! I scream. and another word I will not repeat here.


I left the un-lit sparklers in the pot and went inside. 2 days later I went to the dollar store and bought a propane flame thrower and when I went out the pot was full of water, it rained 2 inches that night.


I threw the wet nasty sparklers in the trash... and finally got ONE to burn... I still have 30 of these nasty dangerous little sparklers and Bob says I can't throw them in the trash..
All this for ONE post.... OY!
I had a little help from PicMoney

Have a safe and Happy 4th of July...

See you all on Friday
