Happy Independence Day

239 years ago, the Declaration of Independence (prepared by a committee of five men~sorry ladies, no equality back then~and drafted by Thomas Jefferson) was adopted on this day, granting us the freedoms we now enjoy, chief among them was our independence from the British Empire (two days prior, the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee). Ever a work in progress, it is not perfect, but it's ours, and it keeps us free.
Have a safe and happy celebration!
Thank you Heather!!! Happy Independence day to you too!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karlene!
DeleteGreat post, Heather! I made my potato salad and fried chicken--my husband's favorite. Too exhausted to stay up for fireworks, but nice to know we can still celebrate this country's independence!
ReplyDeleteI made my potato salad too! That and BBQ is our tradition. We didn't stay up for fireworks either, mostly because our part of the state is already in a severe drought that it's just too dangerous. But it was a great 4th!
DeleteI thought about making potato salad, but mine glows in the dark! Ouch! I am not a cook can you tell? My poor new kitten, Midnight, thought we were under attack last night! You have such gracious visitors. Me? I praised the good things in America and got chastised for not thinking globally! Have a great Sunday and more rain. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am lucky to have such wonderful visitors. Alas, we cannot please them all, nor should we try. And yeah, maybe you should stay out of the kitchen if your potato salad glows. ;) LOL!
DeleteHappy Independence Day To you all I want to send a humble request to all around the world on this independence day. Please do not make any Misunderstanding to any other a live happily.
