It’s not only the 4th of July, which in itself is something to celebrate, but my husband retired this week and we’re having a party tomorrow and Alex and my sister and her family are all going to be here. So it’s going to be a great weekend. Coming from a heritage that started in the 13th C in a small Eastern European country (at least that’s as far as we have records for), and a father who arrived on American soil in the 1950′s, I’m glad to be flying an American flag on the house. It’s the same flag that my parents had on their home. Are you flying your flag? Can you answer the same questions about our country that America’s newest citizens must answer? Here’s the first 25 out of 100 questions.
