All about me!

I am important here in Galla Meadow, but in the world I
am not not even a shadow. Can you see me there tall
in the Meadow-- taller than even the trees. I stretch
way across the land. I am somebody here at home!

Well, Dot wanted me to do this and I did. I saw a long
list of stuff there and not one word about it being the
day I entered this world. As Old Sister says we are
important mostly to ourselves and soon after we pass
away we will be forgotten. Most who are remembered
long do evil deeds so I would just as soon be remembered
less.

1. Go to Wikipedia and type in the month
and day you were born. (For me--June 14).
2. List three events that occurred that day:

1777 - Stars and Stripes adopted by Congress as the
Flag of the United States.
1648 - Margaret Jones is hanged in Boston for witchcraft
in the first such execution for the Massachusetts colony.
1942 - Anne Frank begins to keep a diary.

3. List two important birthdays:
1932 - Joe Arpaio, sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona
1811 - Harriet Beecher Stowe, American author (d. 1896)

4. List one death:
1801 - Benedict Arnold, American general (b. 1741)

5. Tag five friends to do the same: (If they want to!)


I better not do this but if I did it would be:
Sister Patsy
Sister Helen
Sister Fleta
Daughter Laura
Daughter Erin

A sheriff or a witch?
