I'm up WAY too early this 4th of July! But all my family members are
otherwise engaged for tonight, and so it's a very different 4th.
Figuring I'd seen enough fireworks for a lifetime (including 2nd row seats at
a competition between American manufacturors years ago when I had no children
and hallucinogenic drugs didn't seem so illegal), I agreed one by one to
release my husband, middle son, oldest son and daughter to their various and
sundry other 4th of July activities. Keith will be in Wyoming at an SCA
event with a male friend. Marty will be three hours south at Elephant Butte
Lake with his friend Logan's extended family. Kirby is going with Carol
Rice's family (famous here from the really-late reading article at
www.unschooling.com) to watch the fireworks at Kirtland Air Force Base, and
Holly had a choice of two plans and is going to go with Kirby.
Me, I'll stay here and comfort the dog and make a webpage for my friend
Ramona King whose husband and three kids are away in North Carolina.
Holly is a big Anglophile. She doesn't know or care much about castles and
kings, which is the draw for many such folk. She's interested in language
and modern cultural differences. She asked me what they do in England on the
4th of July. Well, I said, probably nothing much but feel bad that we kicked
their butts.
The cool thing is that the thought of that will not leave her until she's too
old to remember (or otherwise can't remember), because I said they can do the
little happy dance about whupin' Spain in the 1600s still, but it was down
hill for them militarily for a long time.
All she knows about colonization and the American Revolution (which at her
age and with her interests isn't much) she will tie to how England feels
about us now, and how all that came to evolve.
What she knows about Russia and the USSR and eastern Europe is WAY different
from the small propagandistic nonsense I knew at her age, and it's for
entirely different reasons and from different angles.
I love watching them learn, and thinking back and wishing I could have
learned that way. Sometimes I did, but not with the same outside approval
and in the absense of the school outline and brittle summary.
So the 4th of July is not hot-dog day for my kids. It's exploration day.
But that's not so exciting for them because so is every other day!!
And I get to make a website, using the scanner I hooked up myself, and the
knowledge I've (somewhat painstakingly) gathered over the past couple of
years about html (more the past month than all the time before that, but I
did have my toe in the water a long time on that before I decided it wasn't
beyond me), and hang out with Ramona for the first time ever without two to
six children in and around the conversation.
Sounds like a GREAT day!!

Hate to disapoint you yanks but most Brits aren't really bothered by the
fact the US was "given" independence. It's kind of no big deal!
We don't celebrate it and it was always interesting when the US bases in
the UK had celebrations -- they were forced to be very low key.
Now what will really piss off the older generation is when you discuss how
the US pushed their way in during WWII -- that really gets tempers flying:)

I see the 4th as a celebration of the birth of our country,
not a time to dis anyone.
And we were not "given" independence, we fought for it.
Have a wonderful day, no matter where you live!

One momentary mental happy dance that King George wasn't more organized or
better at divergent thought isn't dissing England for all time. Nor is it a
reflection on the current population of the United Kingdom, any more than I
can personally take credit for the founding of the United States. It's a
holiday, that's all. People remember or "celebrate" what they want, and I'm
sure MOST celebration is lacking in lofty purpose or political correctness.
A day off and a case of Bud is sufficient for a lot of guys.

Q. When the devil tempted Jesus after his 40 day fast (40 days would kill anyone) what form did the devil take and is he still roaming the earth as we speak?

My dad fought in WW2, landed on the beaches in Normandy, actually. And he
always had nothing but admiration for the British. He said they were the
toughest people he had seen in a long time...strong and determined in spite
of the bombings and raids that were happening in their country at the time.
He wasn't someone to compliment easily - and certainly didn't have the same
to say about the French. But the British - held in the highest esteem.
I agree - those James Loewen books are great at helping to set some of the
historic records straight. Remember, I live in TEXAS - the state that James
said had the MOST inaccurate historical markers in the whole country! I
believe it!!! LOL!
We had a great 4th of July in spite of the rains. We did our own fireworks
in our own driveway out in the country. Very simple. The kids were thrilled.

Driving home today I noticed a big sign with the temperature displayed on
it.......100 degrees at 6:30 PM!! and 100 percent humidity doesn't mean
rain. ):0
We have discovered eating a watermelon that has spent several hours in the
freezer is a great way to beat the heat. Snow cones and popsicles are great
too.
I teach an exercise class (Jazzercise) several times a week and I take
frozen wash clothes in my cooler with me. The participants are very
grateful. I put a few drops of lavender essential oil in the rinse cycle
before I put them in the freezer and that is a a real treat.
