Not only that, it's the day the War of 1812 began...and we all know who won THAT war!!! (Although, I do know some Americans who, to this day, would not agree that the British won...ya just don't declare war on the Upper Canada folks and think you'll come away a winner...heeheehee). I wonder if it will be a celebratory year next year, 2012, to remember our last 200 years of freedom from American intrusion. It may be worth a hip-hip-hurray at least...in a modest, Canadian way, of course.:)
Then in 1815 Napoleon was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington....and England has a day called "Waterloo Day" to honor the occasion.
Amelia Earhart in 1928 was the first woman to fly the Atlantic.
See. June 18th is quite an important day.
It is also the day I did laundry, visited my neighbor across the hall who is also recovering from a severe fall, and went for breakfast with husband.
A good day all around.
Sleep well.
