Well I will not be on much because my monitor is going out and well it will be a few weeks before I can replace it. So if you don't see me here you'll know why. I have a few prayer requests. Remember Mitzi this Friday she will be getting an ultrasound of her tummy & the 23rd she will see a specialist. Also remember my moms best friend Nancy Grider as she has a lot of things going on including a colonastomy and she asks for everyone to lift her up. Also her daughter Angie is looking to have the Gastro surgery soon please remember her. & Bob & I always stand in need of prayers. I will be praying for all of you & I hope you all have a blessed week. I am trying to do this very fast before my monitor goes black.

HuGs....Linda  

Update---I may have spoke to soon cause as of yet it's still running good
(fingers crossed)!

Lazy days!

 


I hope you all have a great 4th. I really don't have any plans. Bob has to work and Alyssa leaves today. I may make some Bar-B-Q for Bob & I and go eat with him at work. Yes, I changed my site from sheer boredom. How do you like it? These backgrounds are so nice & very easy. The link is in the upper left corner check them out! It was so cool this morning & breezy. It's still breezy but warmer at 84 right now. No rain in the forecast bummer! Well thats all I have for now. Thanks for all the prayers for Mitzi. & for me as I feel much better. 



I am the flag of the United States of America.

My name is Old Glory.

I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.

I stand watch in America's halls of justice.

I fly majestically over institutions of learning.

I stand guard with power in the world.

Look up and see me.  

I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.

I stand for freedom.

I am confident.

I am arrogant.

I am proud.  

When I am flown with my fellow banners,

My head is a little higher,

My colors a little truer.
  

I bow to no one!

I am recognized all over the world.

I am worshipped - I am saluted.

I am loved - I am revered.

I am respected - and I am feared.  

I have fought in every battle of every war

for more then 200 years.

I was flown at Valley Forge,

Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appomattox. 

I was there at San Juan Hill,

the trenches of France,

in the Argonne Forest,

Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy.

Guam, Okinawa, Korea and

KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me.

I was there.  

I led my troops, I was dirty,

battle worn and tired,

But my soldiers cheered me and I was proud.

I have been burned, torn and trampled on the

streets of countries I have helped set free.

It does not hurt for I am invincible. 

I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and

trampled in the streets of my country.

And when it's done by those

Whom I've served in battle - it hurts.  

But I shall overcome - for I am strong.

I have slipped the bonds of Earth

and stood watch over the uncharted

frontiers of space from my vantage

point on the moon.  

I have borne silent witness to all

of America's finest hours.

But my finest hours are yet to come.

When I am torn into strips and used as bandages

for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,

When I am flown at half-mast

to honor my soldier,

Or when I lie in the trembling arms of a

grieving parent at the grave of their
fallen son or daughter,

I am proud.
