Happy 4th of July!

Independence Day
AKA: The Fourth of July, The Glorious Fourth, The Fourth


Where: United States of America
When: July 4th
Why: The day the Declaration of Independence was first adopted by the Continental Congress.
Ways to Celebrate: Fireworks, Family, Family Reunions, Concerts, Barbeque's, Picnics, Parades, Baseball games, Boating, Camping, really the possibilities are endless!

I did some "intense" research on the subject of the 4th of July. As most everyone who knows me knows that this is my number 1 favorite holiday. I was trying to figure out why this might be. I love the celebrations the fireworks, the BBQ's, the camping pretty much everything summer. But as I read on Wikipedia I discovered that on August 2 (my birthday) the engrossed (the legal) document was signed by John Hancock and other delegates! So, perhaps I have found the connection! I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July! We are truly blessed to live in this country!
