And just to keep things unchanged from previous years here is my inchie and this week our country is America so what do I think of the USA ....Christopher Columbus, the mayflower, the pilgrim fathers, the war of independence/ 4th of July the stars & stripes of old glory, New York the big Apple & the Statue of Liberty, Washington, Texas, Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, the Great Plains, Miami's Art Deco, New Orleans, the Golden Gate Bridge,cowboys and Indians & wagon trains, burgers, diners, the Mississippi, the Keys, Disney, Micky Mouse, Popeye, marvel comics, grits, PBJ, blue jays & red cardinals, football Sunday, popcorn, root beer, Elvis, Memphis, Nashville, Dolly Parton.....and last but not least my stepchildren and their families because they both married Americans! I've chosen to use some more of dad's stamps and in this case it's the Bald Eagle with the stars & stripes,the liberty bell of Philadelphia and president George Washington
