I dont have a problem with that at all seeing Hubby is American but if its good enough for him then its good enough for me & my NZ flag flies alongside his American one. Does cause quite a stir amongst the neighbours & annoys the heck out of me when they all refer to our house as the one with "The English" flag. I keep telling them its not bloody english but having the union jack in the corner blind sides them a little:mad:
Not that you want to please the yanks but how about flying the silver fern? |

Guess you could say Im feeling a little nostalgic tonight but have to love him for sending me a little of home huh?:D |
