I was both fascinated by and scared of those skeletons as a kid.

I was getting afraid y’all had forgotten about this thread!

I remember when April 18th was almost a religious holiday for me.

Anybody know why?

Hint: historical dates are still very much on my radar, but not where I have to celebrate them!

"This Day in History: April 18 Paul Revere, a renowned silversmith, is better remembered as a folk hero of the American Revolution who this night in 1775 made a dramatic ride on horseback to warn Boston-area residents of an imminent attack by British troops."

The British are coming!! The British are coming!!

Yeah, my family can’t even remember major historical dates. So I love asking everyone what happened on a given day. I vividly remember having pretend meetings with Paul Revere and the others while laying in bed at night when I was five.

Today my GirlChild asked me who said, "Give me liberty or give me death!"



Patrick Henry of course. Some things I do remember, but no, I was not there when he said it.

I was not there when he said it

Keith Richards was.

 

[LTAY1946]
