My mom called earlier because she got her Ancestry DNA results back. That led to a conversation about my ancestors and she mentioned our ancestor who signed the Declaration of Independence. Um what??? This was news to me! She said she thought I knew. 🤷🏻‍♀️🇺🇸

GypsyKat @AmyG Haha! She may have told me when I was little and I just don‘t remember. But I was surprised! 7y
GypsyKat @AmyG @JazzFeathers @Moray_Reads I thought it was pretty cool! That‘s on her mother‘s side. On her fathers side my 9th great grandfather came over on the Mayflower. I‘ve even been to the reproduction of his house in Plymouth, so that side of her family may have overshadowed the other side in my childhood memories. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y
BeansPage Whoa! How cool!!!😄 7y
AmyG That‘s awesome family history. 7y
OrangeMooseReads That‘s cool! I always get the “I know I told you. Oh maybe I told your brother. Sorry.” 7y
EmilyM I, too, am related to a signer of the Declaration! His last name was Bartlett. 7y

I spent my morning at a retreat at my church. I spent my afternoon at a meeting of Tacoma Feminism at my library.
I got to exercise my right to life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness in both my church & my state in one day.
I am so grateful to our founders for this. And I pledge to fight to preserve these rights for all.
I still love being American.

We were given paper at work to make our own Valentines Day hearts. Nailed it! (This photo does not properly show how glittery those white hearts are. My poor desk...)

Part one of #Bookmail today is this BEAUTIFUL copy of The Declaration and the Constitution! It has pictures of both and has all of the amendments! So glad we got this. I feel like everyone should have a physical copy at home. I love that they let you pay in payments if you can't pay up front as well. #EastonPress books are literally bound to last. The paper, binding, and gilded pages are all so that the book will be preserved! Love their books ❤📚

Clare-Dragonfly Wow! Beautiful--and I agree, every American should have a copy. My husband would be thrilled to get this, too, so we'll have to look into it. 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Clare-Dragonfly ^ $59 total, up front or two payments of $29.50. 😊 That includes shipping. Pocket-sized to look great next to my copy of Common Sense and The Federalist Papers. ❤ 8y

Clare-Dragonfly I see it's leather-bound, so that's not going to be our copy (I'm vegan) but I'll be looking for one! 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Clare-Dragonfly Ah. Yeah, they all are. I totally understand. I think Franklin Books may do faux leather...? May be worth looking into? 8y
Suet624 What a great idea to purchase this. 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Suet624 They sent an email on Inauguration Day and I just knew I had to get it, I thought, "How do I not have my own copy yet?" I want one for each child we have. So, for now just this one. ? 8y
Suet624 😀😀❤️ 8y
Gina Love this idea 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Gina I do, too! We already planned to divide the Easton Press books up among our children, but this is one we think they should each have. 8y
Gina @BooksTeasAndBookishThings they really did a beautiful job with the cover and printing. 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Gina I swear I have yet to see one that I did not love ❤ I think Outlander and the Three Musketeers are my two favourites! 8y
Gina @BooksTeasAndBookishThings Sweet! I look forward to getting my hands on a few. 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Gina You will not regret it! 😊 We are subscribed to 100 Greatest Books Ever Written! Knocks off at least $20 a book which is super awesome 🙌📚 8y
IamIamIam Omigosh, they're gorgeous! 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @iamiamiam I swear I have genuinely loved and been in awe of each book we have gotten from them! 😍 8y

So, on Inauguration Day, we decided we should have a copy of our Declaration of Independence as well as the Constitution. #EastonPress literally binds books to last. They are costly, but genuinely worth it because they can be heirlooms that last for generations. Their edition cost $59 and I went to see when it would ship, and it turns out our next book from Greatest Books Ever Written subscription is coming, too! I am Really excited to get both ❤

KCorter Good call. I have pocket copies, but it would be wonderful to have a leatherbound copy. You're right about Easton Press, those books last forever! 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @KCorter these are pocket sized, but still leather bound. You can do two payments of $29.50 if it is easier which I also love! And they have pictures of the actual documents inside as well. I am very excited to have it in my hands! 8y
KCorter Oh man, that's perfect! 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @KCorter It is absolutely gorgeous in the pictures! I am so excited 😍 8y

Getting ready for the upcoming General Election by reading through Washington's voters' pamphlet. My pocket Declaration of Independence & Constitution will help to guide me through this tumultuous time 👍🏼.
