Long May She Wave

“You’re a grand old flag,

You’re a high flying flag,

And forever in peace may you wave.

You’re an emblem of the land that I love,

The home of the free and the brave.

Ev’ry heart beats true,

‘Neath the Red, White, and Blue,

Where there’s never a boast or brag.

But should auld acquaintance be forgot,

Keep your eye on the grand old flag.”

Chorus from “You’re a Grand Old Flag” by George M. Cohan, published 1906

I wish everyone a safe, happy, and fun-filled 4th of July holiday as we celebrate the birth of our wonderful country.

God bless America!

Uncle Sam’s Hat

Uncle Sam's hat - flag boquet

A friend brought this aluminum Uncle Sam’s hat as a hostess gift when she came to dinner a few years back right around July 4th. You can’t really tell from this photo, but it has a round flat bill just above the ring of stars. She had a pretty little pot full of primroses in the hat when she presented it to me. Just lovely! Well those didn’t last all that long but thankfully the hat did.

Pallet Flag

Pallet flag (2)

When my youngest son decided to do over his room, part of his plan was to make and paint an American flag made of pallet wood. I know I’m partial, but I think he did an awesome job. It looks great on his wall. Frankly, I was a bit surprised at how well it turned out. I had not worked with pallet wood before, although I guess its not much different than just scrap wood like I use for a lot of my projects.

The real difference in the appearance was the fact that he just sanded off the high, splintery areas and after painting rubbed it with a nice dark stain. Once the stain went on, we stood back back and exclaimed, “Love it!”

Happy Independence Day!
