my America isn’t the Kardashian’s, isn’t Hollywood and rarely makes the news

my America is Jeff who works on my cars, David who maintains my heating system

Jack who is a genius with glass, Danny who can repair anything and my go to guy for everything

real people living the best they can and the people holding down the fort

the average ”JOE” has something they do well, earning an honest living working everyday and often even when they are sick, because that’s what they do and who they are

Marianne my doctor, Veronica my dental hygienist , Karen at O’tooles…………my favorite waitress……………………..takes a whole lot of people to take care of me and i am grateful for them

my America doesn’t really like their picture taken but they will go along if they have to

nuts, bolts, oil and grease, hair clippers, brooms, mops, hammer and nails, bricks and mortar, gravel and stone……………………………..just a few of the things my Americans work with to make us the nation that we are

turn off the television and go out and meet real Americans living ordinary lives with all the gusto they can muster

my America is a great place to call home
