On major patriotic designated days, the Villages are usually awash with the Red, White and Blue American flags. That is why I expected today to be no different that those other flag display days. OK ??????
Yes, I was serious!! I learned a long time ago to forget about having any expectations about much of anything...it avoids a great deal of disappointment...something you frequently seem to express on the board. Being happy about the good that I find is much better for my health than is being upset about something I expected but did not find.

Would have been nice to read that you were pleased to see that those who remembered displayed their flags proudly today. A silver lining rather than another black cloud.
