Today is a distinctly American holiday---one of my very favorites. I practically bleed red, white and blue, so you can bet that the stars and stripes are out in full force at my place.
Even with a pool party, picnic and fireworks on tap, I can't help but be reminded of my Liberian boys and, an ocean away, the Liberian flag that flies over their orphanage.
I see the Liberian
lone star everywhere in decorations I've had 15 years or more. I could swear Uncle Sam is even holding a Liberian flag.
If you haven't read the "Meant to Be" post in the sidebar on the left, I hope you will.
The story behind that quilt and what it represents to our family just might give you goose bumps.
It does me.

Happy 4th! Thinking about you and know that you will be sporting the red, white & blue. Miss you!
I have several, okay many, one star pieces myself. Oh Liberia, you are on my heart!
