Re: On this day in 1773, in Boston harbor,...
And, my mother's ancestors were the makers of that tea. :)
The irony of it is, the other day, mom had us go buy her a really neat wooden truck, which was a replica of the Twining Tea company, circa 1702. :)
I remember my grandfather before he died, how he used to tell me all about the founding of the Twining Tea company, and how he was related to them, and that was the same tea dumped into the Boston Harbor. :)
I love history!
Edit: Oops, sent it too fast, (gotta watch that mouse). Anyway, Happy Birthday Ashton! Hope you have a birthday worthy of your words!
