It's here and it's going to be a busy one. Haven't figured out what i'm going to be doing precisely in the next few weeks, but it's busy. Summer summer. That word doesn't scream "busy" does it? Well maybe it does. So, i'm writing these ridiculous blogs so you two can scan them over with a lazy eye and come to the conclusion that you really are wasting your time. Oh well, i said it. i Think i said this before but... These are mainly to raise the eyebrows and maybe let a smidgen of a grin graze your mind. That's it. So, if it doesn't accomplish that well... It's wasting so much of your time i do believe you might as well keep reading and never give up; theo Shepard should come to a good point by the year 2039 and the surgery is successful up there.
The 14th was Flag Day. i Was woken up by my parents on the phone saying "Happy Flag Day!" around bright and early 9 in the morning in the...Summer. Yes.
My mom thought we should celebrate. i Thought, why in the world... Not? So, i got online and started looking up what you inquire so urgently? Yes! Water parks. It turns out the closest one is 40 minutes away and it doesn't have many slides, as well as being sort of pricey unless i was a child of 6 and under. Who knows, i might've been able to slide under the gate and claim i was three and free. A little girl today told me "Anything is possible 'cause God can do anything." ("Faith Like a Child... Duh duh, deeh dehh, duh duh dehh.." Oh apologies; was singing a..)
Alas, i did not go gallivanting to Myrtle Waves or any other water park and perform shenanigans anywhere. Except... A text message saying there was to be a "party" at the youth leaders' house. Really just a fun hangout time so the married happy couple could show off their new unit of residence, i think.
Had to get gas first and that meant going into the ol' Ocean Town. Decorated to the lamp post it was. Flags and some mo'! Everywhere i looked. Yes, the cars too! i Felt out of place...sort of. So, why didn't i take a picture and post it up on this here vociferation? Well let me tell you that is another blog in itself!!!!!!! Well it'd be kind of short, but it's still sort of a story. You see, i didn't think about people decorating or caring about this country's flag. It didn't cross my mind at all. There's the blog post. Shucks, that was it?
Actually it is. i Am proud to be an American. i Suppose i only now understand what it means when you leave the country and live without, America. These people down here, they're committed. At least most are because it was a sight. The flags lined the road and i wish i had taken a picture with my wonderful photography skills because that would've given somewhat of a mere image of what it was like. Why isn't everybody patriotic? Surely there is something in everyone's country that they absolutely love and can't find it anywhere else. Wouldn't that one person/belief/place etc. be enough to make that person see that he/she really is proud? For me it's belief. The right to believe what one wants. The Best News is, i know the Truth and He gets to change their minds. The sad truth is i don't think every town in the U.S. put up it's flag that Monday. Must they be so, proud?
Anyway, on my way to the youth leaders' house i took a left on Flagship Dr.
It was spectacular.
