Today is July 4th – the birthday of our nation. On this day, we celebrate and enjoy the freedom that comes with the event that made this day so special. Do you know how this date originated? Here’s a little background information for you:
Thomas Jefferson was the author of the Declaration of Independence and led a committee that crafted the declaration between June 11-28, 1776. Jefferson and other representatives from the thirteen colonies voted and approved it on July 4, 1776. The document declared freedom for the 13 colonies from British rule. Thus, July 4th is known as Independence Day in the United States. The actual Declaration of Independence is in the Exhibition Hall of the National Archive in Washington, D.C.
And here’s a little bit of trivia knowledge to WOW some of your friends. The Declaration of Independence didn’t actually get all of the signatures by the representatives until August 1776. The President of the Continental Congress, John Hancock, had to sign it to make it official. Have you ever heard of the saying, “Put your John Hancock on it?” Now, you know where the saying originated from.
Today we enjoy this day by celebrating our freedom. It’s a time for some good old fashioned baseball, hot dogs and family picnics. Throw in some parades and fireworks and it becomes a holiday with a bang!

Licks piggy lips just thinking about this combination. And yeah, I would throw a banana in there as well – way to go my inspiration Mr. Elvis. Peanut butter and jelly go together like baseball and hot dogs – like soda and popcorn – like beer and nuts – you get the picture? It’s a great combo that I frequently beg for… along with a banana – snorts. And one of my favorite past times is giving the purr things here peanut butter. Oh dear piggy heavens above – *that* is definitely something to watch. (NOTE: No harm was done to the purr things in my amusement).
My dad is a HUGE Poptart fan. Don’t ask me why. He never grew up is what I’m thinking – oinks. Well there is a new flavor called – what did you expect – peanut butter and jelly. He bought a box and I admit it the man actually shared a bite with me. I think it’s because of mom’s stand fast rule here at the Hotel Thompson, “Don’t eat in front of the pig unless you plan on sharing with the pig”. Any who, every since I tried it – I LOVED THEM.
And oh my pigs – the commercial on television for them is outrageous. Although, I have read some on the internet about it being controversial. Can you imagine that? A Poptart commercial for peanut butter and jelly being an eye opener for people? I know you want to see it now, am I right? Snorts 🙂 Don’t worry – I found it for you. Watch and let me know what you think my friends.
