Seasons of Thanks and Gratitude

There is much to be thankful for this and every year, and family is always at the top of my list.

After a morning of playing with the new Grand-Kitty, a Thanksgiving lunch feast out with my honey, and an afternoon seeing "Bolt", I'm packing to fly to the Twin Cities tomorrow.

Saturday, my 77-year-old aunt from North Dakota is getting married to her 78-year-old honey from Michigan. Besides her entire family, much of the extended family will be there to celebrate and share their joy.

With a grateful and filled heart, I wish you and yours a very happy Thankgiving!

Don't Forget The Vet!

Today is Veteran's Day. Although it began as a commemoration of the signing of the Armistice ending World War I, it has evolved into a national holiday honoring and thanking the men and women who have serviced in our armed forces.



Instead of just one day a year:
  • Remember the aging veteran who needs a ride to the VA
  • Remember the homeless veteran who needs a hand-up, not a hand out
  • And particularly remember those returning from recent action overseas as they adjust to their new civilian lives
