  1. Badminton! Haven’t seen one of those in years and loved to play when I was quite young. All of your patriotic things are very nice, some bringing back memories as well. The little flower pots with flags are adorable and I love the way you used your large flag on the table and around the flowers. Nicely done! Happy Memorial Day to you and to all that have served this country!

    1. Thank you so much Shirley. Happy Memorial Day weekend💙❤️
