stars, stripes and betsy ross







"America is best described by one word-- freedom."     
 Dwight D. Eisenhower






I often have dreams of living in a house EXACTLY like this one. 
On the Fourth of July, I would gleefully watch the festively decorated bicycles parade by my front porch. 

I would be sipping an ice cold {insert favorite summer cocktail}
Ahhhh.......
ok, I'm back.   

...or maybe we could gather around on this front porch during the fireworks. 
{insert my dog, Maxwell, below or your dog if you want to play along}

Hello beautiful flag.

Well, we can all count our lucky stars (50 of them, in fact) that the red, white and blue color pallette is not exclusively for
Independence Day.

Absolutely beautiful. 
Don't you love how the blue of the ocean becomes part of this AWESOME room?
