A Patriotic Post

I've been feeling extra patriotic lately. I started listening to 1776 (by david mccullough) when driving to and from Denver last week, and have been listening to it as I quilt at night. And I've been reading The 5000 Year Leap (by Cleon Skouson) when I have the time. America is such a miracle! and I feel over-whelmed at how lucky we are to have so many liberties and freedom.

I read this article last night and my heart felt lifted. If you have been feeling heavy hearted lately you should read it too: secret combinations

  1. I tried listening to 1776, but historical books are hard for me. I get bored. I think I could handle Johnny Tremain or something like that. Way to feel patriotic on 9/11!

  2. I've always wanted to read that book. p.s. - I agree with everything you said on this post.

  3. I knew you were a farmer. I knew it! And a patriotic one at that!

    And I think Max's radical political views might be rubbing off on you, along with all that radio business. And I feel fine about that.

    At least you know Obama is a creep. Amen to that.
