Today is my dear cousin Jenna's Birthday. Jenna is very special to me. Growing up it seemed that our families were always traveling, so we hardly got to see each other. One year though, I remember celebrating her birthday with her in Egypt, or maybe it was Jordan? I do not quite remember; but, I do remember she had a cookie monster cake. I love you and miss you Jenna!
This day is also very special indeed because it is also the day that the Continental Congress adopted our flag. Since 1777, June 14th has been celebrated as "Flag Day". Here are some things I found online, if you feel like being patriotic, which I think you always should. (distinctgifts.com, dollbox.com)
Jenna also shares a birthday with Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of the controversial novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin.
