My New Flag
My Aunt Lizzy bought me an American flag for my birthday. (I hope I can remember her birthday) Hubby put it up within 3 days time. That is a 42 year all time record for a honey-do list.
Happy Birthday Baby Sister
Today is my sister's birthday. I was not quite nine and Mama was twenty five when she was born. Mama was much older at twenty five when she had Freda than I was when I had my daughter at that age. Mama was sick before, during, and for quite a while after this last baby was born. I remember she mostly ate only toast and jelly. Our OKC Grandma came to stay with us while Mama was in the hospital and stayed long enough to help Daddy move into a different house before they brought Freda home. We always rented. Speaking of rent houses...we looked at a really pretty house on Sevier Street while I was still in grade school. It had a big picture window and enough bedrooms that we would not have to share. Daddy said we could not get it because the rent was $100.00 a month. I do not remember what should have been the memorable event of bringing a baby sister home from the hospital. I do remember Grandma staying a little while and asking me to take a dish back to a neighbor at the end o
Beautiful. I love the sight of Old Glory. We spend a lot of time out of the country because of my husband's job. It is always good to get home and see Old Glory flying over here at home.

How wonderful! A friend gave us a flag to put up when we lived in NC, and here we don't have the hardware....am I sounding like a broken record? :-) So, it's never been put out. I must give my honey a nudge about this particular honey-do! I am just embarrassed!
