    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!

I passed by my newly acquired “scrap-booking center,” anxious to get to work.

In the front yard, someone was setting up folding chairs.
