Happy 4th of July

But then why am I posting on July 5th? Well, we were very busy yesterday and besides that, it rained here yesterday and the fireworks were postponed until today.

A few days ago we ate breakfast at Perkins. Typically they have a large American flag flying at their restaurants and the sky was such a nice clear blue that I took a few pictures. Plus it was very windy so I could get good photos of the flag showing all the stripes and nearly all of the stars.

I just spent a little time looking at Wikipedia's entry about the Flag of the United States. It is quite interesting. There is an animated section that shows how to fold the flag. There are pictures of all the different flags through the years. Did you know that at one time there were 15 stripes? I didn't know that.
