While scanning the military section of a large Tyler, Texas cemetery last week, I spotted you. Two small American flags, side-by-side, obviously once placed at the same time on two adjoining graves. How do I know? Well, quite frankly, you both looked alike ... but not at all like the other American flags surrounding the many graves in your vicinity. You were no longer red, white, and blue but rather red, dirty-brown, and blue -- and you were tattered. Very tattered; pieces of your elegant garment long ago blown away by the winds of time.

But today you get 2 for 1 ... You may remember that I recently hosted a bridal shower on my front porch. You can read about it HERE. The bride and groom are both English teachers, so I used books as part of the decorations.
