SEVENTY FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY...COMING TO AMERICA.

Thinking back on coming to America as an immigrant from Iceland 74
years ago today.

 Many changes from just married to an American Navy man - that lasted seventy years - to being a mother of ten, best of the best!  Grandmother of eighteen, great-grandmother of nineteen and great-great grandmother of six!
Great life - lucky me. 

Fourth of July coming up: 

My first one is a vivid memory of the American flags everywhere imaginable! Streets  lined - mailboxes flying flag of all sizes - flag poles, short and tall - buildings and businesses - you name it; The American flags were beautifully and proudly  displayed! I remember being so happy to see that because we, Icelanders, love to display our flag at every opportunity! Sweet memories, how I love them!
