Sweet, Sweet, Memories

Of my childhood are linked to some classic television shows. I was talking with a dear,(and may I also add HOT), friend last night and he shared with me his love of the Canadian children's show, The Friendly Giant. Check him out here (the Friendly Giant, not my friend):

Friendly Giant

Doesn't that man have the sweetest demeanor. I love the chicken in the bag. Here's another classic:

Yip, Yips

Yip, yip, yip! Good times, good memories!

Can you tell my blogging skills are improving? I am even including links now! If only I knew how to post the actual video...

Comin' to America...

Has to be in my Top Ten Neil Diamonds songs. I mean really, what other song makes one want to jump up and belt-- not sing-- along? And, believe me, hand actions and dancing follow. If you ever want a private showing, let me know. But I digress...

With today being the 4th of July, I can't help but give in to the love and respect I have for America. My dad taught us early on as children that we are very blessed to be Americans. His example of patriotism has had a lasting impression on me. I can't remember a holiday where displaying the flag would be appropriate and it wasn't done at our house. As an adult, I have found that my love and sense of joy to be American have increased. I tend to cry when hearing the National Anthem, get choked up when hearing about the heroic efforts soldiers past and present have displayed, I love pledging my allegiance, and more anything am grateful for the rights and privileges I have because of where I live. It truly is great to be an American!

I hope you all have a great 4th!
