  :D I hope it was a fun day for you Mare? We were camping in the RV.

Up here we have CANADA DAY and it's held on July 1st. Fireworks and the whole bit. Hot Dogs, BBQ's, Parks and fun. Same as there...but with a different history. Here it is:

Commemoration[edit]
Frequently referred to as "Canada's birthday", particularly in the popular press,[4][5][6] the occasion marks the joining of the British North American colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the process, into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867. Canada became a kingdom in its own right on that date,[n 1][8][9][10][11] but the British parliament and Cabinet kept limited rights of political control over the new country that were shed by stages over the years until the last vestiges were surrendered in 1982, when the Constitution Act patriated the Canadian constitution.[n 2]

Under the federal Holidays Act,[12] Canada Day is observed on July 1, unless that date falls on a Sunday, in which case July 2 is the statutory holiday, although celebratory events generally take place on July 1, even though it is not the legal holiday.[13] If it falls on a Saturday, any businesses normally closed that day will generally dedicate the following Monday as a day off.

Very fun and cheerful image just like you!

  A belated Happy Canada Day to you, Pom!
I doubt you need a history lesson about the 4th of July in America. I'm sure they covered it in high school in California...
Hope you got to see the fireworks. We stayed in, and I took a bunch of photos off the TV, to see how they'd turn out...None was worth posting, so the bp site has been spared.
Finally, I'm headed for your gallery, and your sweet photo of Fangy...I'll be brief, since we've covered a lot of ground, and memories, this week via e-mail.
