Forefathers Day
 |
He sported me all over Cape Cod showing me the various sites. One of those predominate destinations was Plymouth and Plymouth Rock.
While my minds eye had visions of a huge massive stone emblazoned with the date he was careful to temper my expectations prior to the event — and the actual size of the rock was decidedly smaller than all those accounts I read as a school child led me to believe ...
Be all of this as it may the visit did make me feel proud to see some of those places and things from my history lessons of childhood. And I will always remember them with those warm and fuzzys I keep in store for my late friend.
Today is Forefathers Day, a holiday celebrated in Plymouth, Massachusetts, since 1769 commemorating the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth on December 21, 1620.
It all has me waxing nostalgic for that heritage Jerry was so proud of during his lifetime and reminds me of those places we saw and things that we did so very long ago.
