Patriotic thoughts

It is July 4th weekend, which means Bar-B-que, fire works and flags. I love our country and generally am proud to be an American (as any group of people we do have our dumb moments, but overall we do a good job as a country). We display our flag on July 4th, and it is special to me as it was given to us at my fathers funeral. He was a WWII vet who was shot twice and returned to combat both times.
In reading some articles, I stumbled on the following facts:

3.2 million
 The dollar value of U.S. imports of American flags in 2010; more than half of this amount ($2.8 million) was for U.S. flags made in China.
 Somehow, it just doesn't seem right to pick up an American flag and see the tag, made in China.  Just Say'n


Most people will celebrate this July 4th by joining our blog family. They will do this by hitting the "Follow this Blog" button or hit the Twitter or Facebook button. Then they will be so happy they will shoot off fireworks. If you believe this, I can also get you a good price on the Brooklyn Bridge. Just Say'n

Readers’ hearts will be beating hard as they join in this adventure where people come back from the dead, wear so many facades you’re not quite sure who’s on the good or bad side of the law, while experiencing the growing attraction between the lady ‘cop’ who could be lying through her teeth and the normally bored psychologist who stepped into the adventure of a lifetime.

The author, a practicing psychotherapist, certainly knows how to light a fire at the beginning of a tale and guide the reader through all types of personalities and red herrings that will make them very disappointed when the story has to come to an end.

Quill Says: This is one psychologist who has met his match when it comes to a truly astonishing female!
