Thanks Ginger. Quite the colorful outfit - a rainbow hula skirt!

Thanks, my hula skirt were scarves that I gave away to people with dogs. It was looking real sparse by the time I got to the end of the parade. Have a great day.
Aloha, Ginger

What a thoughtful birthday card for our country as a unified entity. I especially love the format it follows. As if a tetractys demands celebration of a cause, it fits the text impeccably! Well done, and very festive!

Happy July 4th, Tom!
A well-penned, patriotic poem expressing pride and joy for the love of a great nation.
"Land of Liberty"--most certainly what the holiday is about!

That sounds so great! I suspected you would be carrying out some holiday festivities--no doubt a great time will be had by all!

This poem proclaims that you are glad to be an American and proud of our country. Every American has hope in their dream and share the joy of freedom and welcome others with open arms. Well said.
