Independence Day

 Journalist Rocky the Squirrel – Keeping my paws on the nuts of the world!

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!

Happy Birthday, America!

 

Happy Last Day of the Month

Happy Saturday my dear sweet friends.  Today is the last day of September and the spooky month of October starts tomorrow.  I wanted to give you a heads up about October.  October is going to be a busy month for this little piggy.

I skyped a witch and she even saw me in her crystal ball.  Even she knew I was up to something before mom and dad did.  You see,  I’m going to have 31 days of Spook on my blog.  I’m personally going to highlight scary movies, television shows, legends, monsters and other things that go bump in the night.  I might even quiz you on some of them so be prepared.  Start brushing up on your trivia.  I hope it will be fun for everyone.

So, happy last day of September my friends.  Welcome to Spooky October!  Evil snort

P.S. My friends – mommy want to thank everyone for their emails, cards and comments yesterday. She had the bestest birthday ever! One that she will always remember.

And special thanks and love to Nana who took mommy out for her birthday lunch yesterday. It was so delicious and she LOVED her Mickey Mouse card. Love ya Nana!!

 

Happy Last Day of the Month

Happy Monday my dear sweet friends.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend full of rest and relaxation and lots of great food!  We had a little bit of cooler weather here this weekend and I absolutely LOVED it.  There’s just something about the coolness of the air that makes this little oinker want to run!  I went out in the back yard with mommy and we played for a long time together.  We took turns playing tag and chasing each other.  I think I finally wore mommy out – snorts.  She sat on the ground and that’s when I hit her like a football player.  We just sat on the freshly cut grass, snuggled and baked in the sun.  It felt good.  I admit I liked it.  But don’t go telling a lot of people okay. 🙂 

I admit it went down hill after Saturday morning.  Deviled ham came out and I got into trouble.  I learned my lesson because yesterday I had to pay the time for the crime.  I hate that – it interferes with my snuggle time with mommy.  I don’t like it when mommy ignores me.  But we made good yesterday afternoon. All is now well at the Hotel Thompson.

Today is the last day of September and the spooky month of October starts tomorrow.  I wanted to give you a heads up about October.  October is going to be a busy month for this little piggy.

I skyped a witch and she even saw me in her crystal ball.  Even she knew I was up to something before mom and dad did.  You see,  I’m going to have 31 days of Spook on my blog.  I’m personally going to highlight scary movies, television shows, legends, monsters and other things that go bump in the night.  I might even quiz you on some of them so be prepared.  Start brushing up on your trivia.  I hope it will be fun for everyone.

Second off, the parents are trying to go to the beach in October so they are looking for a pig sitter for me.  I’ve told them that I’m old enough that I don’t *need* a pig sitter but mommy is insisting.  So they are taking interviews – snorts – this should be fun.  I do hope they let me sit in for this so called interviews.  I’d like to give my two cents on the unfortunate soul person they choose.  I wonder what my witch friend that I skyped saw about this situation?  Snorts.  Of course, I will keep you posted.

So, happy last day of September my friends.  Welcome to Spooky October!  Evil snort
