N.B. When I tucked her in, the star headband was safely stowed down on the bedpost and the flags were nowhere in sight. Off-camera but also in the bed is her trusty copy of D'Aulaire's The Star Spangled Banner. Also note, 'patriotic' is commonly pronounced 'patch-er-watic' in this house. My dear patcherwatic girl.

Today
- Remember, O Christian soul, that thou hast this day, and every day of thy life: God to glorify - Jesus to imitate - The Angels and Saints to invoke - A soul to save - A body to mortify - Sins to expiate - Virtues to acquire - Hell to avoid - Heaven to gain - Eternity to prepare for - Time to profit by - Neighbors to edify - The world to despise - Devils to combat - Passions to subdue - Death perhaps to suffer - Judgment to undergo.
