Red, white and blue — when we hear those words, we automatically think of our flag! It is a patriotic symbol of What does your child know about the flag? Ask them before you begin this study and then ask them again after Flag Day! I hope that they learn about the history of the flag, Betsy Ross, and Francis Scott Key. Did you know that Mr. Key was an attorney and the father of eleven children? Does your child know why there are fifty stars, and can he or she say the Pledge of Allegiance? As a child, I remember flags flying on most homes on Flag Day. Today, in many neighborhoods, Flag Day is forgotten. I would like to see that changed and raise the awareness of this holiday. Did you ever go to a parade as a child and receive a small flag to wave from the sideline? I remember seeing that field of flags being waved up and down the parade route — what a pretty site that was! That was a very special time, and we were very proud to hold those flags. If you haven’t done so yet, consider getting your own family flag and putting it on display as frequently as possible. Flag-flying in a neighborhood can be a contagious thing, and it is great to look down our neighborhood now and see Old Glory on many homes. With this holiday, let’s bring the flags out of the back of the coat closet. Let’s care for the flag and teach these same concepts to our children. Let’s make Flag Day a special day to remember how far this country has come — from thirteen stars to fifty stars, from an upstart young country to a world power. The flag has been there through it all, lifting the spirits of our soldiers and brightening our darkest days with hope. It is now the next generation’s responsibility and our patriotic duty to protect this flag. We should all fill with pride when our flag goes by! God bless

This day is such an important patriotic holiday for Americans -- I hope that you and your families are taking time to remember why we observe Memorial Day. We will be joining with other Americans as we observe the National Moment of Remembrance beginning at 3:00 p.m., local time, on Memorial Day, as proclaimed by President Bush. We give thanks today to the millions that have served our country to defend our freedom. As one of the young men serving our country reminded me, "Freedom isn't free!" So thankful, |

Many of you have written to let me know that you are patiently waiting for my book on moving to the country - thanks for your patience! I came across this list that made me laugh, hope you enjoy it, too: Top 10 Reasons Why Farming is a Great Occupation http://watkins.gospelcom.net/landfill.htm#farming As some of you know, we have a tree farm and nursery here in the Tennessee mountains. In addition to growing all kinds of container trees for landscaping, we also produce container daylilies used by landscapers. As farmers, we have learned to make use of every opportunity to work indoors when the weather is wild outside. I wish you could see my house this weekend! At the moment, the guys are spending the weekend splitting thousands of daylily bulbs into separate fans in the basement, by the woodstove, watching their favorite movies as they work. They bring load after load up to the basement back door, and work from that load. The basement floor is covered with plastic, and they get busy splitting. My job? Well, since I can kill a silk plant with one look - my job is FOOD, making sure there's food! And you all know that I cook using the smoke detector method, right? ;-) So, it isn't glamorous, but it is always interesting! Blessings, Amanda B. www.unitstudy.com |
