Just for fun.

Once upon upon a time a long time ago on a hot summer night a baby girl was born, probably several were born along with some baby boys.   A part of life, baby's being born.   Well I got a bit curious as to what happened on the date of my birth throughout history so I looked it up.

Some things that happened on that day Idaho the last of the 50 states to be explored by whites, is admitted to the union it became the 43rd state.  Check it out here. 

The battle of Gettysburg ends 1863, Washington takes command of Continental army 1775,  read about this an other stuff on this site. 

City of Quebec was founded by Samuel de Champloin in 1608, and other interesting facts right here.

The New York Times cover was of the Statue of Liberty.

Herb Thomas won the nascar that day and the Pirates beat the Giants 6-4 on that day.

Postage stamps were first issued in 1954.   More stuff that happened on that day can be found here.  Click on any of the links and put in your birthday to find what happened on your birthday or to find out what day of the week you were born click on this link.

Some books that may be of interest.

A day out.

My sisters and I went to a place called McRae's.  There were having dragon boat races.  These boats were really long with a dragon head at the front and a tail at the back.  It was fun to watch.

We meant a few interesting people there.   A man named Denny joined us at our table and this guy was a hoot.  He had us laughing so hard.  He would just make up the most bizarre this and strike up a small conversation with anyone that passed by.

He calls himself my old man friend, then tries to hook me up with some guy named Mike who wore a big green & white stripped hat. (well it was St. Patricks day)  There were several people there all decked out for St. Patty's day.   We had a good time.  I've posted some photos on my photo blog
