yesterday my girl and i stopped at the local armory. they were holding a memorial day ceremony and i thought it would make for a good educational experience for her. as we watched, i looked around, hoping to see someone with a “Q” or “MAGA” hat/shirt. instead what i saw were a lot of patriotic shirts and hats, flags, etc. i thought “i would really like to get some more patriotic attire.” after over 20 years of not feeling “patriotic”, it is quite emotional for me today to feel that sense of patriotism again.
jump forward 24 hours later. a package arrives from my mother-in-law. inside is packed full of Americana. towels for the kitchen and bath. clothes for our girl and myself (you will see below a scarf i turned into a sarong because that is more my style). a pillow. shower liner. little necklaces – all celebrating the 4th of July and American Patriotism. wow. total surprise! if that weren’t enough, i looked at the bathroom hand towel. and well, you will see that little extra surprise below….
happy restoration of EVERYTHING. and happy upcoming 4th of july, america. may that flag finally wave truth, liberty and freedom.
love,
victoria
