You're A Grand Old Flag

A few weeks ago I bought a flag to hang outside. She's beautiful, and we respectfully bring her inside every night. Whenever I see a flag flying at someone's house it makes me feel good.

You're a Grand Old Flag,
You're a high-flying flag,
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of the land I love,
The home of the free and the brave.

Every heart beats true
'Neath the red, white, and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the Grand Old Flag.


That is another song I have memorized (I hope I got it right). I learned it from watching James Cagney in the 1942 movie about George M. Cohan called "Yankee Doodle Dandy."

You should watch it if you haven't seen it before...

Oh I adore this vintage print. It's awesome.

I also need to say that I hope you guys make more of your books because I need one. Ok, I don't, but it would make a lovely gift for a pregnant friend.

So just get on that for me, ok? ;)

Haha, my guy and I JUST had this 'discussion': he wants an Irish flag to honour his heritage, but I said I'd rather a Canadian one to honour my own, and so no flag has been raised over here.
