C'mon I have the right to say that coz I am after all an American....albeit an honorary one!!!
I did my patriotic duty to the US...yesterday was the 4th here in Australia, so I took some Reese peanut butter cups, hershey kisses and a couple of cans of A&W root beer, my American flag, my American flag washcloth (in case I needed to wipe my fevered brow!) and my American flag plastic party cups........
I took them all in to work and forced my co workers to join in the celebration!!! What's more....I only ate one hershey kiss, half a peanut butter cup and a small drink of root beer. I was determined to have a servant heart about this....even though I was drooling over those chockies!!!!
Anyways my friends at work know I am an American wannabe and they already think I am half whacko so I didn't have to be concerned about pulling out all stops!!! My blonde on the insideness carried me through in fine form!!!
Oh I wish I was in the good ol USA  
I am soooooooooo homesick for you!!

I forgot to mention.......half my wages went on those blinkin chockies.....but it was worth it!! Though it would have been even more worth it if I could have eaten them all!!!

I am honored to call you a fellow American...anyone that shares chocolate on the 4th knows the true spirit of this country!

P.S. You make me think of the most special 4th of July I've ever spent. I was living in New Zealand at the time...the only American in the school consisting mostly of Aussies and New Zealanders. Well on the 4th they had a dinner in my honor; they found a sleeping bag with an American Flag design and hung it up in the cafeteria, sang "America the Beautiful" to me and we feasted on steak, though it was stringy (not many cattle in NZ) it was a rare event...actually the only time we had beef I think (except for a McDonald's hamburger). It brought tears in my eyes to be such a welcomed and honored guest at their table...and for them to remember a day that was special to me. Thanks for stirring that memory today.

ms_warriorthingy replies on 7/4/2008 8:33 pm: It was kind of stirring for me too, and that is so weird seeing as I'm not really an American! I think I'm supposed to be though, it's just too freaky to be anything but!! Happy 4th of July my friend!  |

Hey Missy, I'm christening you Jeffy's favorite honorary American! Someday I want to be an honorary Aussie! Love and hugs! Now behave yourself OK? And you better save a chockie for me. I want a Hershey kiss.

ms_warriorthingy replies on 7/4/2008 8:35 pm: Wow not just an honorary American but a favourite honorary American...doesn't get any better than that! As for the Hershey kiss, I had one and you would have to pump my stomach if you want any of it!!!   |

You are absolutely an honorary American Citizen! Anyone that would honor America with Hersheys Chocolates, A&W Rootbeer, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, the US flag and all the US decorations is an All American!

Who knew?
Did you?

This time is short, serve Him well, serving all.
Without exception.
