Flag Day

I've never flown an American flag from my apartment before.

But yesterday on a whim, I bought a large German and large American flag at a gizmo shop in the Rathaus Center. Bert was very pleased -- he'd been wanting both, for the World Cup -- and this morning, he hung both from the clothesline across our balcony. They sure look pretty.

Admiring them from my office, sipping coffee, I glanced over at the calendar to see what date it is. June 14th: Flag Day.

Well! Just in time.
