I love this country of America so much!

I have a tradition each Memorial Day of putting up all of my Americana decorations, then I leave them up until Labor Day.

I want to remember and celebrate all of the summer holiday’s with decorations that mean a lot to me. So here you go! I just took them down and decorated for Fall, which is also a favorite time for me.

Actually, now that I think about it I love all the season’s!!!

The lovely cross stitch in the middle on the top shelf I got at the thrift store for $1.00. Can you believe it? I love it!!

I’ve always loved quilts, and I always will!

Whether they’re in style or not. Maybe I love them so much because of my pioneer ancestry. I have only made a few quilts in my life, but I own many.

They are beautiful!!Another fun thing I like to do around Independence Day is to watch movies that have kind of an “America” theme. I like to watch all of the “National Treasure” movies, our friends have a clean cut copy of “The Patriot”. I think next summer we’ll watch “Lincoln”. It helps me to appreciate what we have as citizen’s of this great country. So many through the years and centuries have sacrificed so much so that we can have what we have. I wish more citizen’s thought about and truly appreciated what this beautiful land offers us.

I want to leave it as wonderful as it is for us to my children and their children. I will do what I can to help that happen. I will vote, I will obey the laws of the land, I will stand up for what I believe even if others disagree with me.

God Bless America, Land That I Love!!!
