Today is Flag day. A fact I wouldn't have realized if I hadn't seen it on the calender yesterday. But, it got me thinking.....what is America to me? This is what I think of when I think of America:
The Statue of Liberty
Freedom of Speech
Hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill
Quilts....like my grandma made
Barbie
Cowboy boots
MTV.....when it still played music
McDonald's....still my absolute favorite fast food
Elvis....which goes with....
Las Vegas
Picnics in the backyard
Hide-n-seek in a corn field
Blue jeans and white t-shirts
Drive-ins
Waitresses on rollerskates
Parades...any kind
County fairs
I'm not patriotic. I don't always agree with the decisions that are made on my behalf, BUT.....I can say I am thankful I was born here. And do appreciate the freedoms I enjoy because of it.
