I used to be a whole lot cuter back then ... although I still have some blond hair mixed in with it all.

While still kind of gray out this morning, today looks like today will be some pretty weather by afternoon for enjoying flag day parades and other activities as we celebrate our country and its flag.

Living in an era when the corporate media and many politicians feel it's totally acceptable to demean our country and it's values, it's all the more important to celebrate our country and the freedoms that makes it a wonderful place to live.
