Sometimes we hang the flag out, sometimes we don’t. I think this year we might.
In 1777, congress adopted the stars and stripes as our national flag. The Army also celebrates its birthday this day. Celebrations officially crept along. By 1916, reflecting the patriotic fervor of the times, President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed June 14th Flag day. It is still not a national holiday. A few states have made it a state holiday tho, and if you want to read all the details, check out the on the subject.
George thinks the flags are in the cubby hole desk. We have his parents 48 star flag and a more modern one. We both agree that the trees in front hide the house. We will hang it off the tiny bedroom balcony. If we can find it.
- Himself: Off to the museum at noonish to see and work the new show. Orphan cars…like the Hudsoon, DeSoto, Kaiser, Pierce Arrow. I reminded him to take his camera.
- Herself: Went shopping for smaller pants at Ross dress for less. I got rid of two; I buy two. I got a really sexy shirt too.
- Reading: I think I have finished the last Hillerman. What a shame…they could go on forever as far as I am concerned.
- Balance: Finally knocking down the infection in one ear from an earring. It’s been there since the beginning, but grew exponentially after I slept in an earring.
