Happy Fourth of July!
This is being written from Revolutionary War Central: not far away is a field where, as the historic marker indicates, from May 28 - July 2, 1777 the troops of George Washington's Continental Army camped out due to its strategic location high about the Raritan Valley (makes sense when you realize our main street bears the name Washington Valley Road!)
Since this did not turn out to be a beach day, it appeared likely that most of us engaged in a uniquely American holiday pasttime--shopping. A quick surveillance trip to the Bridgewater Commons mall (strictly for research purposes, I muttered to myself) confirmed that theory.
Fourth of July in the middle of the week? No long weekend? Bummer! But at least the weekend is only 2 days away.
About Me
- Laurie Squire
- Laurie Squire is happy that she lives in the part of the state where stores are open on Sundays. When she's not shopping she's writing about shopping and when she's not doing either she works in broadcasting as does her pun-happy husband, Herb. Terrific twin daughters, a super son-in-law and cute pets round out the picture. She is a graduate of Finch College and NYU, and is one of those people who didn't-finish-doctoral-work -but-swears-she-will-one-day (Columbia University's Teachers College).
