According to the History Channel, Flag Day was officially established in 1916 by then President Woodrow Wilson.

My family flies the American flag regularly to honor the Nation that has given both sides of the family so much. My hubby’s family are Italian immigrants who came here in the early 1900s, while my family escaped the Communist regime in Cuba during the 1960s.

I think I can speak for both families when I say that this Nation has provided us a wealth of opportunities we would not have had in either Italy or Cuba. America has also given us Freedom and Liberty. It is for those reasons that I proudly fly the flag to honor this great Nation.

Do you fly the flag?

It’s Monday morning and the countdown is on to the unofficial start of the summer! I’m looking forward to long strolls on the boardwalk, sitting on the beach reading romance novels and relaxing, getting tasty ice cream cones, and lots of gardening. Combining all those things, it’s no wonder that summer is my absolute favorite time of year!

What about you? What are you looking forward to this summer?

I used to dread Monday mornings and the commute to New York City. It wasn’t a bad commute and in all fairness, NJ Transit was pretty good. I had a seat like 99% of the time and would sit, sip my coffee, and write my romance novels until I got into the city. After that, I’d do the mile or so walk to my office and I looked forward to that for many years. It was always fun to see what was happening. How are Monday mornings for you? Do you commute? Are you still working at home?

Monday morning blues. It’s okay, a lot of us feel that way on Mondays! To get moving, I fill up my coffee cup and haul out my planner to see what exciting things I have coming up for the week. That always makes me feel better. I want to know what you do to get yourself moving on Monday mornings! Comment below and let’s get the week going on a positive note.

So many things to do, so little time. Our house sale is done and the move is almost completed. Now is the time to finish cleaning out things for our smaller space and to tackle new projects. For some reason all that has me feeling the Monday Blues, but I’m telling myself to stay positive. It’s a new Monday and that means a new week and new goals. Clean up more stuff. Get in more exercise. Last, but not least, work on a new writing project, a women’s fiction story, and finish up my next Intrigue book: Trapping A Terrorist which will be out in October 2021. Hope your Monday is off to a good start!
