The only one I got right is what current President campaigned on the 4th of July.

Your patriotic photo is fabulous. Enjoyed the quiz but didn't do too well.  I think I did learn something, so that is good.

Thanks for stopping by.  The point is not to get a grade (we're not in school) but to have a ittle fun and learn something to share while watching fireworks tonight.   Enjoy whatever celebration you're having!
