WHAT DAY IS IT??

LOG CABIN DAY
"The log cabin is a structure that has become the American Folk Dwelling - it's a symbol of both self-reliance and practicality. When people started moving west across the country, they needed homes that could be built fast. The log cabin was the answer since it could be built with materials found on hand. Presidents Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln were both born in log cabins. "
This day is not celebrated everywhere, but recognized in Michigan. I thought my Michigan family would know about it- so we'll see. I'm hoping they'll make a comment on what festivities they'd chose for this special day for them.
See JJ's Blog for pictures. She lived in Kentucky and visited the Lincoln birthplace/homestead.

Today is also the anniversary of the Battle of Little Bighorn.
"The Battle of the Little Bighorn — which is also called Custer's Last Standand Custer Massacre and, in the parlance of the relevant Native Americans, the Battle of the Greasy Grass — was an armed engagement between a Lakota-Northern Cheyenne combined force and the 7th Cavalry of the United States Army. It occurred June 25-25, 1876, near the LIttle Bighorn River in the eastern Montana Territory. The battle was the most famous incident in the Indian Wars and was a remarkable victory for the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne. A U.S. cavalry detachment commanded by Lt Col George Armstrong Custer was annihilated."

Today is also the Sabbath. It is a day of rest and spent in worshipping our wonderful Lord.
"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy." Exodus 20:8-11
