Day 22 of the Reopening Epic or Wednesday June 17, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this day in 1885, the French frigate Isere sailed into New York Harbor with the 350 pieces in 214 crates that would be assembled into the statue that we all know today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you know that the Statue of Liberty was given to the US by France to mark the abolition of slavery? There is a broken ball and chain at her feet to symbolize this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The title of the statue is La Libert\u00e9 \u00e9clairant le monde (Liberty enlightening the World)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today we bring Peter\u2019s car in to be serviced at a social distance. My car\u2019s battery decided to play dead this morning so one call to AAA and fifteen minutes later my car is running again since I have to pick him up because there is nowhere to wait at the dealership<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We got a lot of paper out of the house for recycling. There will be more of that over the next two weeks. Today we continue the cleaning project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peter has rehearsal today for MacBeth: Death by Fluffy Kittens. This should be fun for him to just be silly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caroline is wondering when the end of school is. Is it this week or next week? I am hoping for this Friday but thinking it is next Friday to make up for the longer break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather this morning is very pleasant. The high will be around 72 degrees Fahrenheit with the usual ocean breeze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our clowder of cats is enjoying the open window. Everyone has their spot and is very happy sniffing the outside air and watching the birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have discovered that I do better figuring out details on things with a hard copy of a picture. I have no idea why other than weird brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am grateful for the Statue of Liberty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
