Thing 5

It's the 4th of July long weekend here.  As Americans who haven't celebrated this patriotic event on US soil in six years, tomorrow will be especially poignant for us.  Add to that fact, that we're temporarily living in the Revolutionary War epicenter, and you have the makings for some really unique celebrations.  I'll save that part for another post.  On to thing 5-

I am so thankful to see Old Glory hanging in splendor throughout the area.  On light posts on Main St, adorning homes along country roads, off porches where people watch their neighbors meander by, or hung from a wire off the top of the house, making a VERY bold statement.   I am home again!

"O say does that star spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave"

Amen to that!  Let her wave proudly I say.
