Patriotic and Prestigious Are WE


July FOURTH, Baby!
July 13, y'all.

The prestige of MY birthday is evident. We all celebrate it here in the USA and we all know why - Independence Day when a pug Princess named Noodles was born.

Molly's birthday is coming up this weekend. We celebrated her big 2 at the same time as we celebrated mine - but we left room for a little more celebration when her big day comes around.

Some notable events on July 13
1787 - Congress establishes Northwest Territory (excludes slavery)
1865 - Horace Greeley advises his readers to "Go west young man"
1865 - P T Barnum's museum burns down
