To all my American friends. :D

Don't forget that George Washington's family was originally from around my area and in fact the name "Washington" is derived from the old name for the area. They have a little celebration at Washington Old Hall every year on this day.

Thanks Dave,. I spent it at my Mom & Dads eating Kibby, the same thing you and Wayne enjoyed at their home. It's also their 54th anniversary and came home and shot my M-14 and AK rifles a few times.(It's a redneck thang) :lol:
