"During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the American colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia. After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five, with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Congress debated and revised the Declaration, finally approving it on July 4."

Blipadee Celebrates Independence Day!

If I Were A Toy... This month's store door-- A NYC bear family is celebrating the 4th out on the water and enjoying the fireworks!!

I painted several murals in the kids' store, If I Were A Toy... last winter and each month I return to paint a different theme for their door. I always enjoy stopping by, especially now that they're serving ices!

Today, sitting outside to paint, I heard a young boy say to his mom "If I Were A Toy, then I'd Play with Myself!" I don't think his mom gave a reply :)

Have a Fun 4th!!! Enjoy the Fireworks!
