Happy Birthday America!

Happy Birthday America!

One of my fondest memories lives in an old photo my mother took when I was in third grade and my sister was in first.  At the end of the year, our school had a field day.  They made it into a celebration of the Bicentennial that year.  We all dressed up in period costumes and the school had a field full of activities and food.  Mom’s photo shows my sister and me posing like two “Angelic” cherubs….

I remember thinking, “the next one will not happen for another 100 years, so I’d best remember this one!”

Here we are 50 years later and gearing up for the country’s 250th birthday.  I am no longer an “Angelic” kid, but I have grandkids who ARE! We never know how events will play out, but thankfully, we have cell phone cameras.  Maybe with some luck, we will have new memorable “Angelic” pictures this year as the United States celebrates its next landmark.
