History was not one of my better subjects in my school days, however, now that I am older I find it interesting. During the week, the history channel ran a series of “Presidents” and “States”. They started with George Washington and went down the line explaining the trials and tribulations of each presidency. The “States” series was equally interesting. Each state in the union got a chance to boast of it’s uniqueness and individual beauty. I learned so much…how much of it I retain is another story. But again, that sense of pride was ignited!!

Wishing you all a fun and safe 4th of July and Happy Birthday United States of America!!
