I am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
My head is a little higher,
My colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped - I am saluted.
I am loved - I am revered.
I am respected - and I am feared.
I have fought in every battle of every war
for more then 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge,
Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appomattox.
I was there at San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France,
in the Argonne Forest,
Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy.
Guam, Okinawa, Korea and
KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me.
I was there.
I led my troops, I was dirty,
battle worn and tired,
But my soldiers cheered me and I was proud.
I have been burned, torn and trampled on the
streets of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and
trampled in the streets of my country.
And when it's done by those
Whom I've served in battle - it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of Earth
and stood watch over the uncharted
frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness to all
of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages
for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,
When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier,
Or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent
at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,
I am proud.
"If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ." ~Peter 4:11~ Well it's been a few days I see and yet not much has happened thus why I haven't updated. It looks very cloudy and its 88 degrees and a bit humid. We had a nice rain shower yesterday, it lasted about a hour but the thunder & lightning was a bit longer. We are expecting rain all weekend. No complaints here. Bob will be off this week so I am not sure how much I will get on as I just plan on spending time doodling around here and maybe some day trips not for sure? If i'm not back on before the 4th I wish you all a Happy 4th of July. I need to buy a new fag pole as in our move we have missed placed ours. I saw a good deal at walmart so I guess i'll go by there this evening and get it. It was a flag/w pole for 27 dollars so that didn't sound to bad. We have a couple of real nice flags but I do not wish to hang them out in the weather. One was given to Bob when his dad died. It's a very nice one and its still folded exactly the way it was given to him. Just so happen that we were going through several tubs and we found it a few weeks back. We plan on having over our friends/neighbors Bonnie & Harry. We will have a early celebration as Bob wants to go to Nightfall and our friends want to be back home for the evening as their dogs are afraid of firework noises as is Max. Well thats all I have. I know a bit boring but nonetheless its my life...(boring)!

Good morning all, it is another pleasant day thus far. It is now 80 degrees and very pretty outside. Last night it acted as though we were about to have this huge storm it got very dark and windy and some thunder & lightning but it never rained here. It got down right cold...yes, I had to put on a long sleave shirt and that is most unusual! Not much happening here I could be busy doing things but NOT I just don't feel like it. I seem to be doing things everyday well it gets so old after a while doesn't it? I mean the same old thing every single day...yikes...I just don't feel like it today! Maybe i'll take today off!? Of course I say that and yet I find myself doing the same things. Breakfast, lunch, & dinner. Vacuum, dust, fold clothes. On &on &on....ugh! I am really not trying to vent but I know it sounds like it. I am seriously thinking about looking for a part time job...ok, so I say this ever so often and I know it's from boredom but I so need to do more and I know this...but then it leaves my thoughts and then i'm right back where I began...hohum! Oh well I need to get off of here and go figure out what to fix for lunch and to send Bob for his dinner tonight. I can't wait until the weekend as he will be off for 7 days yay. We haven't really planned anything as money is tight but it will just be nice not to be on a set schedule. Of course this morning when we woke up hubby says, "Wow I can't lay here any longer." and I said, "Why what time is it?" He said 9:30 a.m. I was so excited that I actually slept that late! Then all of a sudden he said, "Oh wait a minute I looked at the clock wrong, it's 8:30." I knew it, I can never sleep later than that...I mean NEVER! No wonder I am so tired early! Ok, this is it for me i'll try to get over to all of you today. I emphasize the word "TRY"...lols!
Today I have been so tired my body aches. I know that I need more exercise. Or should I say some exercise...lols. Church was good. I had to leave just as the alter call was given as Bob had to work today and I needed to get home to get his stuff ready. I also hadn't prepared anything for his dinner so I drove through Captain D's. Church went long as it was almost 12:45 when I finally did leave. Paster was really wanting to make a point with his sermon and I really didn't feel comfortable about just getting up and leaving...but...I had to go. Sometimes you just have to. So I took mom home and then I went to get our food it was almost 1:40 before I got home as I live quite a distance away. After I got home with our food I quickly changed and then we ate. I made coffee and read through my sunday news paper with a quick glance as I could hardly hold my eyes open. Finally I just decided to nap. I don't know why i'm so tired here lately unless it's me trying to adjust to the new diabetic meds. Anyway, the weather was a bit hotter today but right now it's back down to 78 and feels right comfortable. My kids are in Florida on Vacation for this week, Vanessa said that it was storming when they got there yesterday and that it was suppose to storm all week...yikes. She sounded a bit disappointed. But I talked to her this evening around 6:00 p.m. and she said that from 9:00 til 2:30 this afternoon the sun was actually out and they went to the beach, but when I was speaking to her it was storming and they were in some shopping mall area and decided to just shop. I hope they have a good week. She took my great niece Breanna with them she sounded very excited. Well I guess that's it for now i'll try and get by to you all sometime this week. I need to go to the store tomorrow...UGH!
