Happy Veteran's Day! Thank you for your service to our country. It is because of you mens and women that we are FREE! This also includes my mother who is not only a Veteran, but has also given 24 years of service (she is now retired) to the United States Navy as an officer and eye doctor who has given our troops and vets the "sight to fight" for our freedom. Thank you!!! What does this day mean to you?
in other news: i am doing laundry, going through my blog list, and trying to get over this runny tummy...ick! come on tums--please work!!
also, i am answering some/these questions over at Acting Balanced blog for the "Monday Quiz"
1. It is Veteran's Day in the US and Remembrance Day in Canada - are you participating in any special events or doing anything to honor those who served?s.--no special events, but i have and did thank my mother as she is now a Veteran as the post above states
2. How far are you willing to drive before it becomes better to fly?--600 miles
3. Fresh cranberries are back in stores - Wayne is happy because I'm making crisps again, do you cook/bake with fresh cranberries? Recipes?--not really, the only time cranberry come out is for thanksgiving cranberry sauce and maybe cranberry juice.
4. We turned on our heat for the first time this week here in SC... how long has the heat been on at your house?

DeleteThis is my favorite holiday. Yep, it's better than Christmas or Thanksgiving in my book because the people who have defended this country (and the world, in some cases) get the spotlight. I never take my freedoms and blessings for granted and give our military much credit for what they have done for this country.
