Last year…
This year! We now have a full-sized flag (made in Taiwan, bought from a dealer in Ireland). No fireworks for us – banned in the whole of the Republic – but hubby’s radio show will be on tonight, as every Thursday, with a Fourth/Americana theme this time.

It actually stopped raining here for the occasion.
There must be many animals who have no idea how lucky they are in your part of the world 😉
Oh, the fireworks? Well I still hear them at Halloween sometimes, somehow.
Hope you guys had a great day ! love the flag 🙂 oh and the smiley face behind it 😉
Your flag pictures are much better than mine. I’d say the second one was my favorite, but that little doggy face!
(There’s actually a flag company in Houston that makes flags in the back sewing room – when we lived nearby, it was amazing to peek in and see the HUGE ones they were working on….wish I had talked them into selling me one of those giant stars)
Hope you have a nice weekend!
