Hope my readers in the States are having a great holiday weekend. Just please remember to decorate responsibly. (When I posted this on my Facebook page, Bonnie commented that it looks like the Griswold house decorated for the 4th. Ha.)
Thanks to Cindy for sending me this photo of a house that took its patriotism to a whole new level, via Flagandbanner.com.

Thanks, America, for (legally) adopting me 41 years ago! I wouldn’t want to live in any other country!

Perhaps a bit overly enthusiastic. Happy Independence Day to you and your family!!

Happy Independence day to you too! Griswold’s house is right. Just think how fun it will be to take all of those flags down. Not really, I sure wouldn’t volunteer to get on that roof to take the them down.
Oh my!
I’d hate to be in need of a flag in their town, b/c I’m sure they bought ‘em all!
Happy 4th!

Actually, I rather like that house! Yeah, it’s overdone BUT I still think it’s cool. It made me laugh but it brough tears to my eyes too. Bittersweet and probably something leftover from my past life, LOL. Just think how much fun this family had putting them all up, especially if the kids were younger than 10. This memorable tribute one will be a comical and loving legacy to pass on to their children. Life is grand that way!
Julia, Thanks for the great holiday laugh! It was hilarious. Mary your comments are fantastic. Life is too short not to make people laugh and they accomplished I’m sure a lot of smiles at least with people passing by.

Oh dear!! Now that’s patriotism! That must have taken a lot of time and effort
Hope you are having a wonderful 4th of July weekend!

So that’s where all my flags went to!
Happy 4th!
Wow! No one can accuse them of not being patriotic! I love it!

Wow!! can anyone even top that…I guess new meaning to patriotic is the only way to sum it up. Perhaps a big neighborhood message is behind it

Wow–that is certainly patriotic. At least the 4th is just one day and the neighbors don’t have to look at this for a whole season!
That is HILARIOUS!!! I love it! (But maybe not in my neighborhood!)
The Griswalds for SURE!

That’s awesome! It’s a little much, but I’m all for loving our wonderful country! Now, this is as long as they take it all down at least by the following weekend
I hope you had a great day!

Sorry, am very late reading this. I hope that house survived the weekend and that nobody accidentally lit a match anywhere close by…

All I can say is wow, and can we diary an appointment to come back in say 5 months because you just know they have something extra special planned for Christmas.

LOVE that house!!
.-= Nikki´s last blog ..July 4th =-.
This has to be a prank – like getting tp’d, right? Or getting fork stuck in your lawn or campaign signs type prank, right?
I’m just wondering what those folks are wearing for the 4th!
God Bless America!!!

Although I appreciate their patriotism, I’m quite glad they don’t live next door to me. Wonder how long they’ll leave it that way?
I’m just gonna bet that one of their neighbors made some kind of comment a few weeks ago in disrepect of the flag or some such….. and around the breakfast table whilst enjoying his honey nut cheerios…the dear husband said “nobody tells me where to fly Old Glory…” and then it started…..
Or perhaps the mother in law said something to the daughter in law about her gaudy christmas decorations and daughter in law thought to herself….she ain’t seen gaudy….I’m feeling a fourth of july family BBQ coming on……
How I love Americans and how I love America!!!!!
