The rest of the story ...

I'm back on the Internet and not text msg from my phone.

About the fireworks:
My brother was being very careful with directing the kids and the fireworks. A car stopped on the other side of the divided highway. The driver complemented us on the fireworks and said they were going to pull off and watch some more and they did so. A few more roman candles, bottle rockets, spinners and firecrackers later they came back and pulled onto the edge of the driveway. At that point, the blue lights in the rear window of the car came on and we realized they were the police in an unmarked car! They told us about the complaint and that they thought we were not out-of-bounds. In fact, when the complaint came in they had been enjoying the show from the police station.

I posted earlier that my grandmother owned the home that the complaint came from. The other funny thing is that she was the police commissioner in the 1970s.

What a funny story. I hope all had an enjoyable night. We haven't been able to have fireworks at home for around 30 years in Australia - but I remember the fun we had as kids.
