Happy 6th of July!!

Happy 6th of July!!!!

Let us all celebrate the day that is 2 days AFTER the highly celebrated 4th of July. Why? Well...........I decided to do a search on the 6th of July to see if there was anything interesting about that date......I mean we all know what is special about the 4th - let's focus on a day that might mean something else and would be new to all of us.............this is what I got:

* It is the 187th day of the year
* There are 178 days remaining in the year

Kinda interesting

People born on this day:
Della Reese
Burt Ward
Sylvester Stallone
Some sports ppl that mean nothing to me
A bunch of politicians I have never heard of
Some Canadian actors I have never heard of
50 Cent - I know him, he is from the STL area, but not personally, that I remember
Janet Leigh - I know who she is
Nancy Reagan - that is familiar too

Events that Happened this day:
* Althea Gibson wins the Wimbledon championships, becoming the first black athlete to do so.
* John Lennon and Paul McCartney (The Beatles) first meet at St. Peter's Church garden fete in Liverpool, England.
* Anne Frank and her family went into hiding in the "Secret Annexe" above her father's office in an Amsterdam warehouse.
* The first Major League Baseball All-Star Game is played in Chicago's Comiskey Park. The American League defeats the National League, 4-2.
* In 1785 the dollar is unanimously chosen as the monetary unit for the United States.
And a bunch of other stuff that would probably bore you into not reading this any longer.

What am I doing today? Well the S's are coming to visit from Massachusetts - yea!! Lucky us (seriously - really lucky - I am very excited). And the O's are heading over from Peoria to hang - we will grill and watch the kids destroy the house and fight with one another over the riding toys - maybe bonk their heads together on the trampoline all the while drinking..........because these are drinkin' people (I hope).

Happy 6th of July!!!!!!!! (pics to follow)
