And you thought this would be a 4^th of July post!

Well, technically, that’s what it is. Here’s the deal . . .

Reading up on the history of our country’s birth pangs, I discovered that our independence was actually declared by those dusty forefathers of ours—not on the 4^th—but on the 2^nd of July. I probably should have learned this in middle school (and probably did), but somehow it was not saved in my internal hard drive, aka, brain.

We celebrate our independence on July 4^th, the day the Declaration of Independence was adopted and signed.

All that to ask you TKZers:  What is your favorite part of celebrating the 4^th (or 2^nd) of July?
