Steven: July 2005 Archives

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."

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.
