Well, being on the west coast, and having slept late this morn, I am a straggler coming on to the thread....

Happy 4th, of course, to one and all...we have our regular daily American Flag out front, but this morning, I took our special flag, the one the hubby had since a child, and put that one up next to the daily flag...we have an american flag windsock in the front big bush, and a big American flag bow on the front door, and a daily American flag out back...

And I have one of my dolls, all dressed up in her American Flag dress, standing next to me...
the hubby has a bear with an American Flag sweater on in the bedroom, and there is another Bear with an American Flag sweater on, in the Family Room...near my computer sits my Uncle Sam Bear, complete in his Uncle Sam suit and his top hat(This the same bear which will shortly be arriving at Palos 'cave')...

Also have American Flag mugs for our drinks...so I guess we are all set..today, the kids have been setting off their firecrackers, and tonite will be a barrage of firecrackers, and lighted fireworks...

I will be gone for a while, hubby just got up, so need to cook breakfast and talk wit him...but will return in an hour or two, to join in the festivities...

rofl we have our beautiful american flag up too, bill put it out first thing
he is doing touch-up on the cave now
he is not whistlin' while he works, he is cursin' while he works
must be frustrating task

it seems like only you and our captain are going all out on the 4th
I wont say how our captain celebrated it
at least you celebrate it the american way
I remain stunned at the ex-pat way of celebrating independence day
