The Crafty Hos: Fun in the Sun Challenge

Happy Birthday America!!!

You're a grand old flag,

You're a high-flying flag,

And forever in peace may you wave.

You're the emblem of

The land I love,

The home of the free and the brave.

Every heart beats true

'Neath the red, white, and blue

Where there's never a boast or brag. 

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

Keep your eye on the grand old flag!

And we now return you to your regularly scheduled program. . .

I bet y'all thought that I'd hung up my thigh-high fishnets and stilettos for good, didn't y'all? Not likely. . .;) I'm in fine form and back on the corner just in time for this week's Fun in the Sun challenge with The Crafty Hos.

PS. I wouldn't say that "there's never a boast or brag." But, with some pretty damn good cause, I'd say. . .;)
