. . . And No One Came to Tea!

OK, politics are murky and I try veeeeery hard to be politically correct. Or at least not to offend too many people.  But I'll never be all that welcome as a member of the Tea Party.  Let's face it, middle aged lesbians are not their target audience.  I am thankful to be married, thank you very much.  That said, despite our political differences I think the movement is interesting and its grassroots initiative has much to recommend it. We just don't see eye to eye on politics, but the methodology is kind of cool.

Anyway, one of the neat things the local Tea Party society did was to have a demonstration  today of the flags that our country has used throughout its history.  I think that is kind of neat.  Flag Day is Monday and while we have been busy making flag decorations and spinners and a red white and blue Jello poke cake--well the actual knowledge about the other variations of our flag would be cool for the kids to see first hand. 

They were on the common when I drove home from church.  We walked down shortly thereafter--basically hitched up our fat pooch in his harness and the kids and I set off.  It was yucky weather. Foggy, drizzly.  The drizzle rapidly becoming more wet and less merely dampish.  And when we arrived--the Tea Party folk had folded their flags and departed.  Sigh.

It was a nice walk though.  If you like pretending you live in Seattle.
