Good day & hope the week is doing fine even if you have snow & cold. Really got cold here but going to warm up a little. The wind was cold & blowing hard when I was at the school crossing yesterday but I was bundled up good which helped. Planning on putting up Christmas decorations this weekend as the wife is going in Tuesday for right knee replacement & will be laid up for a time. Enjoy the rest of the week my friend & take care.........George
Good Morning George, yes indeed we are all bundled up this week. Winter came early, at least for us us. Hope your week is good and that all goes well with your wife's surgery.
World War I In 1918, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the 'war to end all wars' finally ended. Germany and the Allies signed a temporary ceasefire, or armistice. This anniversary was known as Armistice Day until 1954, when the federal holiday was renamed Veterans Day. World War II veteran Raymond Weeks organized the first 'National Veterans Day' in 1947 in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. He also wrote a letter and personally delivered his petition for a renamed national holiday to then-Army Chief of Staff, General Dwight Eisenhower. But the holiday remained known as Armistice Day until the early 1950s, when Alvin King, a shoe salesman from Emporia, Kansas, sought to change the name of his local celebration to Veterans Day. King, who had lost his nephew in World War II, wanted to expand the scope of the observance to honor all war veterans, not just those of World War I. His US congressman took the idea to Washington, DC, and quickly got the support of Eisenhower, who in the intervening years had been elected president. On June 1, 1954, it became official: November 11 would be known as Veterans Day. Veterans make up 11.9 percent of Alaska residents, the highest percentage of any US state, according to data from 2017. In terms of raw numbers, California tops the list, with more than 1.8 million veterans living there. Nationwide, 7 percent of US adults were veterans in 2017, down from 18 percent in 1980, according to the Census Bureau.
PLEASE SAY A PRAY FOR OUR VETERANES AND SAY THANK YOU.HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD NEW WEEK WITH LOTS OF SMILS AND HAPPINESS MY FRIEND. LOVE N HUGS WITH BLESSINGS ALWAYS MARGE
I'M SEEING THE HEART DOCTORS NEXT WEEK AND SHOULD HAVE A SURGERY DATE THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS. GOD BLESS YOU. LEE

Hello my friend, I just wanted to let you know that my pet scan came back no cancer. Praise God. They want to keep a close check on me because the cancer was so deep. So they scheduled an appointment for 4 months to see the dermatologist. Of course, you know what that means!!! lol lol... There will be a lady assistant with him and I said can she do the exam and they said NO!!... lol lol lol... I am not looking forward to that. Went to my family doctor yesterday and he changed some of my medicine. Hoping I feel better. I was taking a blood pressure pill that was making me so sick. I am in a lot of pain with my hip and leg. Could hardly walk today. The doctor ordered me a strong pain pill. The mild pain pills don't touch it. It is so bitterly cold too and that doesn't help.
My son got a 2018 Ford Escape. He needed a car so bad. it is just beautiful. Just like brand new. We are thinking of getting one too. They didn't have what Eddie liked so we will wait to see what they get in. Also, we are praying about it. We want what the Lord wants us to have.
