Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone has a nice meal and somebody to share it with! I have much to be thankful for.I plan on making the meal at my house this year for a change. My little granddaughter told me today that the pilgrims and Indians shared a feast of cheese and dried beans:)I plan on serving a bit more than that.

Great American Smokeout

Today is the day in which smokers are encouraged to quit. This is the 36th annual smokeout. I quit smoking 2 years, 7 months ago and I've never regretted it. Now if I could just encourage my mom, sisters, and sons to quit! The American Cancer Society has some excellent tips on quitting smoking-http://www.cancer.org/Healthy/StayAwayfromTobacco/GreatAmericanSmokeout/

Veteran's Day

On Veterans Day we honor all,
Who answered to a service call.
Soldiers young, and soldiers old,
Fought for freedom, brave and bold.
Some have lived, while others died,
And all of them deserve our pride.
We’re proud of all the soldiers who,
Kept thinking of red, white and blue.
They fought for us and all our rights,
They fought through many days and nights.
And though we may not know each name,
We thank ALL veterans just the same.

Fall Back

It's time to set your clocks back again. For some reason this always confuses me. It's also a good idea to replace the battery in your smoke alarm and stock up on cold medicine.
