Independence Day

Happy 4th of July!

I hope we all take a moment or two to reflect on the enormity of today's holiday. I'm always at a loss for words when I consider the courage it must have taken to sign a document effectively accusing a king of tyranny and encouraging Colonists to continue waging war on what was the most powerful country in the world.

I'm so glad they did.

Found this interesting history video on The History Channel. Check it out if you have a chance!




I'll be back tomorrow with a craft project I've been working on!

I love to hear your feedback! Please feel free to leave comments...just don't send me spam asking me to buy stuff off your website! I've got three kids and no money to purchase your magic weight-loss pill or bust enhancement, or whatever else you might be selling. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
