Happy Independence Day


I don't 'do' many holidays here partly because different nations have different dates and holidays; but it seems celebrating independence is a good one wherever one might live. I just hope my own country continues to value and fight to keep it for all its citizens not just the wealthiest.

For those in my country who like to rewrite why this day is important here, who would use it for their own political purposes while forgetting or lying about the full nature of what was going on July 4, 1776, it's not a bad idea to once in awhile reread the document.

We watched quite a bit of The Revolution last night on History International. Although it's hard to get used to the actors they used to portray like George Washington, it was quite interesting and had a lot of details I had either forgotten or not known.

What a great idea -- posting that document. Thank you.

Here's Margaret's "declaration." What a wonderful way to celebrate her 93rd birthday!
