Independence Day celebrates the birthday of the United States of America. Founded July 4th 1776, with the signing of the Declaration of Independence, America is celebrating it's 233rd birthday this year (2009)
The 4th of July is a time for the Red White and Blue. A time for Picnics, Parades and Marching Bands. A time for Beaches, BBQs and "Bombs Bursting in Air." So pour yourself a cold one, put another "shrimp on the barbie," and join us for a birthday celebration with fun Holiday things for you and your family We've got Fireworks to go to. We've also got Mom's Apple Pie to bake, and Hot Dogs and Hamburger to grill.
Happy Fourth, Julie..have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThere is something wonderful about Independence Day. I think it's a synergism of the BBQ, potato salad, a cold drink, pie and ice cream and friends. And if you don't have any friends, there are parties everywhere for you to join - and make friends.
ReplyDeleteBeing American isn't about the color of your skin, where or if you worship or who your parents are. It's about opportunity and freedom to grow and improve yourself if you are willing to step up. When we forget that, no amount of fireworks can make the day and the people special.
Happy Independence Day!
Well spoken, LL!!
