Three letters make a big difference

Posted on Jul 5th, 2009 by Jw : cre8iv  :?) Jw
If history didn't happen the way it did, we in the United States, would probably have government sponsored  healthcare and spell the word "color," "colour;" but it didn't, and so we celebrate Independence Day.

However, by adding the three letters T-E-R we might make a whole new holiday, InTERdependence Day. We are all interdependent; let us celebrate this fact.

Pictures following are from the Bayview, Idaho, Independence Day parade. The idea to participate came from Susie Snider, an entreprenurial whirlwind of a lady in our artist group - our goals: to have fun and also to advertise our fledgling Scenic Bay Arts Guild.

We made goofy hats out of newspaper, enumerated a couple of slogans, got sunburned (next time I'll bring some sunscreen.) and had lots of fun. It was very hot. That's probably why cool kept sneaking into my photos.

The wordsmithery is not mine. I got it from Bodhipaksa.

We are all interdependent after all.

What a happy and expressive event!  Bravo the Sisterhood of Art!!!  I went to the bodhipaksa.com link and found a link to the oldest New Testament in the world.  It's like 1,600 years old, and its picture is on the internet.  I was fascinated!  Thanks for the link.  And for the pictures with beautiful colors, and for your cool story!
