I always enjoyed getting together during Rhythm and Booms. Everyone would bring a dish to pass and Grandma made the ham. We would sit around outside in the driveway, eat and talk until it was time to watch the fireworks. The challenge was to make sure your car was facing the right way so you could make an easy getaway right when the fireworks were over. Thanks Grandma for the memories.
