The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

Happy Birthday!
The scan didn't work for me but thankfully I linked it on my blog as well, so I got yo see it. Happy 4th of July even without the fireworks! Hope your area is fire free (?). Take care!
I read the whole thing and all I can say is - those revolutionaries sure could write, huh? That's some good stuff and it makes me feel very patriotic! Molly
So, you are close enough to smell smoke? That doesn't sound good!
Thank you, Rosemary. Reminders like yours help keep clear what this whole country is all about, and I'm grateful for the occasion to read it again.
Nice post! Hope you are enjoying a pleasant holiday weekend with less smoke.
