Independence Day

[Diane Amberg]

 Wow, Kevin that was wonderful! Thank you so much. You've really put me in a patriotic spirit. You know, little Delaware is the first star on the flag. And we really are small....only 3 counties. Only Rhode Island is smaller. We are the only state that has an arc, a part of a circle, as a state boundary line. We are known as "The Diamond State," small, but valuable. We are not well known, so we have tee shirts that say "DELAWHERE? We are considered a mid- atlantic state, but the north end is yankee and the south end is southern. Lower, slower Delaware is more rural....has more chickens than people. Most people who have been here went through on their way to somewhere else.  But we make great crab cakes!! And chicken of course.

A note on Lloyd Zimmerman. All the prayers must surely have him wrapped in a soft comforter, made not of down, but of the feathers of angels' wings. 

Have a great evening.  Diane
