Land of the Free


We are coming -tomorrow- back to the greatest country on earth. Quite exciting. I was thinking of other names for America . . . .

  • Land of many gadgets. Washing machines, garbage disposals, dishwashers, magic erasers and disposable mops. America is simply brimming with intelligent, helpful things.
  • Land of clean produce and safely carried meat products. And milk that comes refrigerated. And ice cream made of cream, not water and powdered milk. Isn't that a novel, tasty idea?
  • Land with planned cities. Roads that make sense are not a given. Thinking of those frontage roads all throughout Texas and small, appropriate billboards seems like a dream.
  • Land of clean public bathrooms. With toilets seats and toilet paper even.
  • Land of opportunity. Where people who work hard can own a house. Amazing.
Well that is enough reminiscing. We will come soon. We are not coming "home" however. We will be staying at a cabin in Yellowstone and traveling the Tetons with our families. The flights will be long but it will be worth it!

  3. Uh, and people who don't work hard--or work at all--can "own" a house.
