My niece is at a military base, about to deploy. I'm watching the country music awards on TV...I lived in Europe for seven years...but I'm feeling something...and it's not shame. It's a rising sense of pride. I live in flyover country and in all my travels, I've never encountered better/smarter people...oh, I've encountered people who THOUGHT they were smart...but MAN...I love middle America.
Well..dang, I was going to end with shots in front of Reagan’s house in Dixon....but the computer won’t let me.
:/
Su-weet of you. I was in my pic, though....
Shall I reveal my face?
Ok...going to photobucket to see if it’s still moody.
Bad hair...really.
Thanks for your singularly American help.
Being called American should not be confused with a four letter word.
I am proud to be an American with whatever flaws or foibles come with that.
Being realistic enough to accept what we are with some feigned shame is makes us a better country than ALL the others.
