In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14.
It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States,
which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.
I like to display my little flags in our
flower pots in front of the house.
If my grandmother was living, this would be her 122 birthday.
This family reunion is so fondly remembered by all that attended.
Grandma is seated in the center, wearing a floral dress and pearls.
I am the fifth young child from the left.
You can see why we had so much fun?
We had so many cousins close in age and we always played the best games.
You have seen this photo at the bottom of my blog.
Grandma Hilda (her middle name, Natalie) is in the center.
My very first blog post explains why I started this,
7 years ago, on her birthday.
And...as always, I am having a birthday giveaway starting today.
Comment on this blog post.
I will draw for a winner on my birthday,
June 23.
Enjoy what's left of the weekend.
Take care,
~Natalie

Natalie,
I've so enjoyed your posts and the tour of your family's farm! I'm so glad you and Scott were able to save pieces. What a treasure those will be!

Happy "Blog" anniversary Natalie and Happy Birthday to your Grandma! I have missed seeing your posts over the last 18 months when I wasn't able to be on Blogger and indeed so many challenges were going on in my life that blogging was at the bottom of the long list I had in front of me, but I am glad to be finding the time to visit good blog friends again and so happy to find you well. Take care, have a wonderful day and I will be back to check for new posts more often now!
Love Tina xo
