   #Flashback ~ Miss America Harley ~ 2014 It's incredible to think that America was born just 248 years ago, and that this video of our beautiful alpha queen "Harley" is now a from a decade ago. Time is very surreal. As you can tell from this video, I believe Harley knew she was a patriotic princess because once I slid the blinking red, white & blue glasses on her, she not only kept them on, but she posed like the beautiful queen she was! Oh, it does my heart good to reflect upon all the fun and amazing times I shared with my beloved FiveSibes. I hope you all had a safe and Happy July 4th!   “America is a tune. It must be sung together.”    ~Gerald Stanley Lee       Happy Birthday, America!   ❤️ Memories Are Visits For The Heart 💙     Join Us!
