History of the Fourth - "When in the Course of Human Events.."


"Taxation without representation!" That was the battle cry of the 13 colonies in America that were forced to pay taxes to England's King George III with no representation in Parliament. As dissatisfaction grew, British troops were sent in to quell any signs of rebellion, and repeated attempts by the colonists to resolve the crisis without war proved fruitless.

Perhaps this sounds a little familiar...No representation in Congress!  Though we don't have to fight a foreign country to gain our freedom...more like a take back of our government ...or rather a stream lining of it. Less is more!
And a door wreath..? This one of my latest craft items...looks good...perhaps a bigger bow next time.
Enjoy the 4th weekend. I know I will!
