Happy 4th of July

Here I sit in a semi-quiet household, Kiwi and Peanut have a big day planned as they are planning on pulling out the Weber kettle grill and doing some hot dogs and burgers on the grill as they prepare for their own homemade fireworks that they plan on letting off this evening. I'm a little worried. I was cutting grass and noticed they installed a blast shield to protect themselves. 

Today is the 4th of July, it was 250 years ago today that we officially declared ourselves a country. My Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather's brother was Lyman Hall, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. I've always had a copy of it hanging in my home to honor my family lineage and our country's formation. I've just recently leanred a little more information about him, so it's going to make some interesting research. Something my readers might be interested in and finding out about their own heritage. No time like the present. There is a great movie called 1776 that was done in 1972, I linked it to the bottom. Great movie, worth a watch. 

So agenda for the day, I'll try cutting the grass this morning, and Michelle will do the grocery shopping. Other than that and a BBQ it's going to be a quit 4th of July. 

Have yourselves a great 4th.
