Life has been busy. Following is an attempt to re-write the post that went "poof" for the 4th of July...
Over a month ago I decided to cover my neighborhood with American flags, so I placed an order for 500 flags to be delivered to my home address.
The day came when it was time to put the flags out. My brilliant idea to avoid going door to door was to find a shade tree along the boulevard and pass out flags to passersby while they drove home from work. They could then display the flags by their mailboxes. I lined the boulevard with flags at the entrance of the neighborhood.
AI assisted in creating a graphic that I shared on our neighborhood Facebook page, along with the date and time of the event. They included two of my pets, who are cats, not dogs, but as you know, AI can make mistakes. :)
It was HOT that afternoon. I prepared the flags with my patriotic message, carried water and sweet tea (if you know, you KNOW!) to the appointed spot, and proceeded to hand out flags. Some people thanked me for being patriotic, some commented they saw my Facebook post, and some people flew by without stopping. Some asked if I were SELLING the flags. I guess a Realtor's gotta do what it takes to make a living, but no, I wasn't selling flags on the roadside.
In previous years, I have ordered flags for clients; this year I decided to go BIG for the 250th Anniversary of our nation.
I hope you all had a memorable Independence Day. Mine was certainly memorable. Not only was it HOT passing out flags on the boulevard, my home AC decided it was a good time to quit cooling, so I was five days without cool air. But that's a story for another day. Until next time... Happy belated 4th of July!
