Yankee Doodle Birthday
On July 2, 1776 the United Colonies of America voted on and adopted the resolution declaring independence from Great Britain officially becoming the United States of America.
It was on this day that John Adams thought would be celebrated by future generations of Americans writing to his wife Abigail on July 3, 1776:
"The Second Day of July 1776 will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. . . . It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires, and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."Steven was born July 2, 1969. He is officially a Yankee Doodle Dandy. Happy Birthday to you, Steven, my Yankee Doodle Sweetheart! The Birthday Party Menu Appetizers Boiled Shrimp, iced with cocktail sauce Cheese Ball dip with crackers Olive Spread with bagett Dinner Smoked BBQ Ribs BBQ Chicken Corn on the Cob with butter Green Beans Macaroni and Cheese Potato Salad Rolls Dessert Birthday Cake Apple Pie with Whipped Cream Banana Pudding For the Children Dessert after Dessert Watermelon Popsicles P.S. Yes, I have watermelon everyday. Watermelon is the closest natural source of glucose to be found outside of an IV drip. This beautiful fruit will take the edge off morning sickness for a while. It is also recommended for cancer patients after chemotherapy for the same reason.
BBQ Ribs is what is meant by "living high off the hog." Maybe.
I didn't know that about watermelon. How can something that tastes good be good for you?
Happy Birthday, Hubs. Hearty handshakes all around.
Happy birthday Steven!

For me, when I was pregnant with the boy child, it was honeydew melon. It was practically all I could eat for my entire first trimester.
I'm worried that you didn't make enough food :)

When I was pregnant with Hannah I ate soooooo much watermelon. I craved it, and I also knew that it helped with water retention.
