    A perfect concept for your country's emblem!

    Red, white and blue
    Stars over you
    Papa said
    Mama said
    "I love you!"

    See, I still remember this rhyme I learned when I was little.

    So is July 4th for three or four reasons:

    July 4th - was once our country's Independence Day too (we are the brightest copycat of America!)

    July 4th was later became Filipino-American Friendship Day

    July 4th - was the day my dear late parents got married.

    July 4th - and all the -th days in our lives, we should be thankful!
    Like appreciating someone's visit to our blogs. And I like your new header. Beautiful American flag indeed!

    Cheers!

    Cheered up a sad, grey winters day. Love the bright fuschia. Wish I could grow them but they always shrivel and die from greenfly and my lack of care....
