A Bit Of July 4 Trivia

Happy Independence Day to all my friends on the other side of the longest, undefended border in the world!

It's a great day of celebration unless you were one of the only two signers of the Declaration of Independence, who later served as Presidents of the United States.  In a spooky turn of fate, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the very same day, July 4, 1826 AND that was the 50th anniversary of the signing of the declaration!

I personally want to thank Betsy Ross for the cool flag design I took the liberty of playing with on this lazy Susan ~ 






Because my daughter loves Brooklyn and I love you guys!

Enjoy your ballgames, BBQ's and parades.  We're waving at you from across the 49th parallel!

    Love your Lazy Susan, but I would get dizzy watching it if someone started spinning it.
    Have a great week-end.
