June 14th is Flag Day!
And I’m over the moon it’s my birthday!
I like having my birthday on a quasi-recognizable holiday. Some calendars don’t even list it (hummph). Banks, libraries, stores, are all open. Few flags are outside waving their recognition of the designated day. Ask most people what Flag Day is all about and most people don’t have a clue.
So instead I will talk about my birthday. As I’ve gotten older I’m more low key about my birthday. I tell my family: kids–just a phone call is fine (I don’t need more stuff); hubs–just take me out to dinner (he complies easily). I like that special feeling of walking around town, sometimes seeing a flag outside, and saying to myself, “Yeah, Flag Day is my birthday.”
I may not crave presents but I do like joining birthday clubs to get freebies. For instance:
- Anthony’s (favorite seafood restaurant) sends me a $20 coupon towards a dinner entrée.
- Red Robin will give me a free burger (with a $5.00 minimum purchase)
- Regal Crown theaters has a free small bag of popcorn waiting for me.
- True Lemon has a 30% coupon available.
- Panera has a free treat for me as long as I get there in the next couple of days.
- More than a couple of local massage therapists have special deals for me.
I love all those birthday bonus bargains!
My doctor and dentist send me greetings as well. No free visits thought, although I did find my birthday message from my doctor’s office a hoot and a half.

I’m having a great birthday so far. If it’s not your birthday, then I hope you are having a fabulous Flag Day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAM! I hope you are enjoying your day. Flag day has nothing on Pam day. To quote my favorite birthday record, “My name is zoom and I live on the moon and I came down to earth just to sing you this tune, Hey, Pam, it’s your birthday to-day!”
Wow—that ebullient greeting is even better than my Panera treat coupon. Thank you, muchly!
Happy birthday, Pam! I’m not a big birthday celebration kind of guy, but why not take advantage of any freebies you can? My birthday falls on Pearl Harbor Day. I was usually the only kid in elementary school when knew the answer when the teacher asked, “Does anyone know what happened on this day in history?”
Thanks, Pete. That is an auspicious birth date!
Happy belated birthday! I love the birthday bonus bargains, too. Discounts, deals, coupons, and complementary slices of cake? What more could I ask for 🤣. Like you, I like keeping my birthdays a little more low-key nowadays. Some good food, quality time spent with loved ones, and a nice, long nap is enough for me! Glad to hear you had a great time, and to many more wonderful birthdays!
Thank you! Good food, good company makes for a pleasant, memorable birthday 🎂
Happy Flag Day! 😉
It’s past your birthday now, I know, but I just read your post. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead! My dad also was born on Flag Day, and the day has always held special meaning for me. Happy Belated Birthday to you!
I’ve never met anyone else with a Flag Day birthday! Thank you 😊
