1. Congratulations!

You're among the 10% of people who know how to correctly hang a flag vertically. :-)

3. Thanks!

Actually, I normally have trouble remembering...

This morning, I looked at the binding and hung it with the lettering on the inside....

I'm glad I got it right!

2. Shouldn't you turn your house 1/4 turn clockwise so the flag

is horizontal?

:P

It's a good feeling to be able to look at the flag and not feel so much shame, isn't it?

25. We finished building in 2001......

and moved in Jan. 2002.....

It was designed by our architect who was a disciple of Richard Neutra. HE was a disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright.....

We LOVE the deep eaves and abundant glass......

My study where I am right now, posting, is the room right behind the flag......

It is like living in a work of art, I kid you not......

Thank you.....

Maybe when you come out, you can come by with *um* a certain young lady....for dinner or something!

70. Hi again!

:hi: :hug: Yes, I have been busy enough that I could only be here for short periods at unusual times. I didn't get to hang out. So it was a couple days of being out of the loop or getting to the party when everyone had just left. You'll see my post at the end of several long and once-active threads. I must have been wearing the special swimboy thread-killing amulet!

We're going to our favorite restaurant tonight. That's the good news. The bad news is we're going because it's closing! Too bad. We will have to get one of the specialties of the house. Believe it or not, it is flaming cheese!

I will see you around. You are a great and special lady! :loveya:
