Restful Father’s Day

My father loved to nap on the sofa whenever he got the chance. That made it a challenge to our large family, to let the house be quiet enough for him to sleep – we had a lot of very active and loud kids! We always wished he would nap in his bedroom, and I never understood why he did not do that.

On Father’s Day you could usually find him sleeping on the sofa in the afternoon. When he’d wake up, though, he would take us out to eat a nice dinner at a family steakhouse!

Flag Day

History of Flag Day. Did you know that the American Flag that was flown at Fort Henry (the “Star Spangled Banner” flag) had fifteen stripes and fifteen stars? Some documentaries about the American Flag state that the American Flag has always had thirteen stripes. Not true! And apparently, Betsy Ross did NOT sew the first American flag!

Happy Birthday to the American Flag!
