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.
