It's also called freedom day and it is a national holiday in much of the US of A.
Texas was the most remote of the slave states, and the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, was not enforced there until after the Civil War had ended. The name of the observance is a portmanteau of "June" and "nineteenth", the date of its celebration.
it commemorates Union army general Gordon Granger announcing federal orders in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, proclaiming that all people held as slaves in Texas were free.
Thank you for the good wishes. Can't have fun anymore now I'm over 65.Good morning all,

Celebrations? I'm 65, diabetic and in Suffolk. You do the maths!5.6 any 5 is a good number in my book so I’m happy with that.
@ianpspurs hope your birthday celebrations went well.
Ian if I had your (bg) numbers I would celebrate all day, every dayCelebrations? I'm 65, diabetic and in Suffolk. You do the maths!
Yes I know the libre takes time to catch up so I time the tests with about a 15 minute time interval when doing a finger prick and libre reading I do the prickometer test then wait a while and then note the libre reading.
By the way I've been left with a bit of a nasty rash in the shape of a ring where the first sensor was located hope that is not going to be the norm.
Happy belated birthday Ian.Morning everyone. A 5.3 greeted me on my 65th birthday - Juneteen, Bojo's birthday and either my body, libre sensor or both are rogue. Both faces of Gemini it seems. Party on dudes and dudettes.
Fair point if they had any basis in reality. Think I need to be about 2 on Libre to be safe. Hugs for your higher levels lately although I would wager they are higher than your actual bg level.Ian if I had your (bg) numbers I would celebrate all day, every day
Thanks Debs. Shame I share it with Dufus McDufusface but such is life.Happy birthday Ian.
