Happy 4th Of July!

Nothing like an American Pirate! No pirate thongs today, though! On the way to NJ today, have a few more special July 4th posts to come.

If I Was There……

Jim at bRight & Early has an interesting post: When I was growing up one of my favorite series of books were "You were there…" (One that sticks in my mind was, "You were there at Perl Harbor) Independence Day is without a doubt our most historical holiday. So, here's my idea: It's July 1776, […]
