Forget about Sex and the City – no matter where you live in the world toilets always need to be cleaned, dinner always needs to be cooked and kitchen floors always need to be mopped. I am trying to start to do more housework on weeknights to free up time on weekends.
Also – today is Flag Day! On this day in 1777 the United States adopted the beautiful stars and stripes as its flag.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
