On July 4, 1777, Philadelphia was aglow with blazing bonfires.
Merchants and citizens placed candles in their windows, church bells
pealed throughout the city and ships shot cannons. It was just one
year before that the United States of America was born and declared
that the colonies no longer belonged to Great Britain. It was her 1st
Birthday!

The Best Laid Plans
I waved good-bye as my husband left on a trip in January. I had my
plans all made; I would drag out my scrap-booking material and spend
the next four days secluded in my own little world “catching up” on a
hobby I love. I would organize, crop, do layouts and work late into
the night; stopping only if necessary. I had it all planned. I passed
by my newly acquired “scrap-booking center,” anxious to get to work.

Driving down Denver Avenue on Friday afternoon, I was drawn to a
familiar home surrounded by a white picket fence. Along with the
familiar white wicker furniture and red geraniums on the picturesque
front porch, white tulle and flowers were being added to the décor. In
the front yard, someone was setting up folding chairs.
