"O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
Lines from The Star-Spangled Banner
written by
Francis Scott Key
Recently I have received several patriotic books, to add to my home library.
Here is the book that works so well with my today's post.
America's
Star-Spangled Story
by
Jane Hampton Cook
Celebrating
200 years of the
National Anthem.
Jane is not only an author, wife, and mother, but also a presidential historian.
Receiving her book has led me to reading her blog.
In her October 8th, 2016 post, Jane reveals she is about to undergo neurosurgery
on the 14th of October.

A very nice shot of the flag at its best, blowing in the wind.
ReplyDeleteI must laugh.....because I took more than a dozen photos, just to get what I was looking for in the flag. Thanks for your comment.
DeleteThat's a beautiful photo, Meggie. I especially love the way you got the horse to pose so beautifully! It's always wonderful to have a fresh pile of books waiting to be read, explored and enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI thought your eye would pick out the horse in the background. We both share a love of horses. I can never have enough books to read...
DeleteThis is a beautiful shot of our flag.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle....What caught my eye was that the flag is attached to a huge Texas Live Oak....and, of course the horse in the background. Thanks for supporting my blog with your comments.
