Good Morning America and Happy Birthday! Yes indeed and tonight the rockets red glare and bombs will be bursting in mid air. Will you be part of the zaniness. I plan to have a low energy level day of relaxing and then head out later this day to be part of the festivities. May all of you have a great holiday and glad you stopped by.
Macy's fireworks honors the 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty. With a nod to Wikipedia - The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World, French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue has become an icon of freedom and of the United States.It is an awesome sight and I so remember when Janet, my sister, came up for Thanksgiving in the late 80's and we ventured out to the Statue of Liberty in the bitter cold and yet that just did not matter. It was just awe inspiring.
This is America's 235th birthday and so get out and enjoy. I am heading down to Markie's for a fun al fresco dinner with friends and from what Markie has shared there will be a plethora of fireworks going off. Whatever you decide to do today, be sure to be safe and sane so you can share the details tomorrow!
