Happy Patriot's Day to You!

Today is a state holiday in Massachusetts - it's Patriot's Day. In 1776, on April 19th, the Revolutionary War began. I personally think it ought to be a national holiday - don't you?

At any rate, 115 years ago, the first Boston Marathon was run - on Patriot's Day too. There were 18 runners! This year there are 27,000!

So we are all celebrating - missing work and going to cheer Harry on!!

A great way to spend a holiday. There is even blue sky, sunshine, and a promise of 62 degrees as the high.

A great day!!

Enjoy yours - and think of a patriot!!
