Today I had the pleasure of attending the third grade honoring the flag of this country, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. There must have been 150+ children participating and each one was eager to show, tell or sing about our flag. Each state was mentioned in alphabetical order and songs such as America the Beautiful, God Bless America and several other patriotic songs, and of course the daddy of them all the Star Spangled Banner.
As I looked around I don't think that there was a dry eye from the 300 or so people who attended. Seeing these third grade kids giving such a performance gave chills through everyone.
One thing that was missed during the program was the Pledge Of Allegiance. Why was this? Was it not said so it would not offend anyone of maybe because it had the word God in it. If we offend someone by saying the Pledge, SO WHAT. Let them get the hell out of this country.
Sitting in front of me we two women with rags wrapped around their heads speaking in their tongue, whatever the hell that was. If you came to a program honoring our flag the least you can do is speak the language.
With that said I must say the children did a wonderful job and were proud of letting their friends and family know that they knew about THEIR flag and THEIR country.

WE DID IT!!!!!
It's probably not what your thinking but it was just as much fun. Friends and I enjoyed the last two weekends enjoying each others company. Eating, joking and sitting around the campfire while enjoying two beautiful weekends.
Food was great and the stories being told were both serious and funny. We even had a discussion about an old friend Jack Mee-Hoff. Many stories and laughs were offered at his expense.
Looking forward to this Memorial Day weekend at the campground with it's festivities and huge flea market to be held on Saturday.
I hope it isn't too hot because my air conditioner is not working and I know if I call a repair man out on this holiday weekend it will cost me a fortune. At least I will have the comfort of a fan.
As I said before I am looking forward to this weekend and hope that you are too.
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day.

WATCH WHERE YOU SIT LADIES.
This story comes from the Valparaiso, In. area.
A 20 year old punk is accused of battering his girlfriend in front of his house. The girlfriend said she got into the car on the passenger side and accidentally sat on his cigarettes and he got mad at which he started hitting her in the face.
It seems to me that what we have here is a young punk who needs a little jail time and some anger management courses. Maybe that would make him act like a normal human being.
