DUMB MIKEY
Mikey was feeling a bit overweight so he paid a visit to his doctor. The doctor told him, “Well, Mikey follow these directions and I guarantee you will lose at least 5 pounds by the next time I see you.” Mikey was very enthusiastic, “Sure Doc, anything, anything just tell me.” So the doctor told him, “I want you to eat regularly for two days then skip a day. Repeat this procedure for two weeks and then come back and see me.”
collecting early american flags
Have you ever been to an auction or estate sale and seen an early American flag? If you are as patriotic as we are, we wish to buy the flag to display in or around our home. However, we do not know much about early American flags . . . that is until now. Jeff Bridgman wrote an article for Country Home Magazine that give ten tips for selecting an Early American flag. Here is an excerpt from that article which can be found on his website.
1. Start small and be cautious. Ask a lot of questions.
2. Read as much as possible and look
at as many examples as possible.
3. Know the difference between sewn flags and parade flags.
4. If
buying a sewn flag, buy a large one, it will save you money.
5. Know the construction method. By the turn of
the century hand sewn flags had all but disappeared.
6. Don’t get hung up on the condition of the flag since most
were used outdoors.
7. Treat the flag as objects of art as well as history.
8. Limit your collection
to a particular interest.
9. Conserve your flag properly.
10. Never discard or burn early American flags
