Throwback Thursdays ~ Fun Facts ~ 12.21.2023

Hi Dorie... it's always interesting to me that when I think back on the Disney classics like Snow White, I always thought they were "new" when I was a child.

Looking at all of those dates is interesting - but what stands out for me is the landing at Plymouth Rock. I can't imagine the dismay at arriving here in winter.

Thank you very much, Dorie, for sharing this interesting list of historical facts.

Hello Dorie, interesting the the Christmas Carol was around that many years ago and I remember seeing Snow White at a early age also.  Now am old now.

Hi Dorie:

These were fun to read. It was certainly a diverse week of happenings over the centuries.

Dorie I have been to Plymouth, MA many times.  The Plymouth Rock today is smaller than its original size.  People visiting the rock in earlier years, had chipped away at it until it was enclosed, and people could not that any more.

I was in South Carolina and Charleston for Thanksgiving and learned so much about the start of the Civil War there.  Thanks for sharing your interesting bits of history.

Wow Dorie this was a momentous week!    And as a nice change, I was around for only one of the events. 

1989 was a very eventful year for me.  The fact that we had invaded Panama back then barely made a scratch on my memory.

Being alive for only one of those events (thankfully!!), I should get a pass for the Panama invasion not being etched in my memory...I had just had a baby the month prior so, my life was blissful! Worldly events were not at all a priority for me!! I don't even know if I turned the TV on for the first year after Ryan was born! LOL

Thanks for the throwback Thursday fun facts, Dorie!
