Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:
It's Saturday Night again -
time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):
1) It is the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence today.
2) How will you celebrate the day? Or, how did you celebrate the day?
3) Share your information about your 4th of July 2026 in your own blog post, writing a comment on this blog post, or put it in a Substack post, Facebook Note, or some other social media system. Please leave a comment on this post so others can find it.
Here's mine (written Saturday morning):
I will write several blog posts for Sunday (Saturday's blog posts were done on Friday!). After breakfast, I will go to visit Linda at the assisted living facility in the morning, massage and exercise her ams, legs and back, and perhaps play catch or fetch with the ball on the patio. When I come home, I will watch TV for parades, fireworks, soccer and baseball games. I will probably doze a bit after lunch in the recliner. And then work online until 4 p.m. when the 250th Birthday Party on the Mall will be shown on TV.
In the late afternoon, I will go down to the church for a barbecue with other church members. There's supposed to be games in addition to the barbecue and potluck. There will be no fireworks or drone show over the golf course on the west side of the church -- they called it off because of remodeling of the golf course. That was always the highlight in years past -- we could sit in our beach chairs and watch the fireworks show right in front of us.
When I get home, I expect to watch the fireworks shows on the Washington DC Mall and on San Diego Bay.
All day long, I will be thinking about and feeling thankful for the Founders of the country who had the foresight, wisdom and courage to declare independence and fight for freedom from tyranny. I have over 20 Revolutionary War soldiers in my ancestry, and I appreciate the service of all those men, and their families.
