Hello All,
Let me start off by saying Happy Veterans Day! I take pride everyday in the 20 years I served my country, but I am also truly grateful to those who put their lives on the line everyday to protect our country.
I did not make it to the fair as planned. The weather at the time we were able to go was unreliable. Cold and cloudy one minute, warm and breezy the next. I don't do cold well, so needless to say, I stayed in my nice warm house. We have next year to look forward to.
Took my husband to have a procedure done on his back. Shots, ugh!!! Afterwards we went to eat at Chili's which was one of the many restaurants that provided free meals to veterans. Per doctors orders, he needed to walk around and loosen up from the shots. Where else but to the mall. Decided to go watch window shopping at the mall. Our 15th anniversary will be coming up later this month and the contemporary gift is a watch. The traditional gift is crystal, but what would we do with crystal. Watches it is. Window shopping for watches went well.
We will be getting our house blessed this weekend. We have never had this done so not sure what to expect. Other than that, this will be a very ordinary weekend. Will get stocking stuffers started for grand kids Christmas stockings.
This is my last blog, but I still have so much to say. Will start to use the journal I have had for years, pages still empty. I hope everyone has a great rest of the semester, a happy Thanksgiving and a merry Christmas! May you all have a blessed 2012!
Final Blog!!!!!! Im glad you had a good time window shopping. I took my grandfather out for veterans day. He wanted to eat a buffet though!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good holiday season!
I appreciate your service to our country as well as the others who are currently serving. My nephew joined the Marine Corps he leaves June 2012 for basic training. I couldn't be a prouder aunt than I am.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to make it to the fair either seems like every time I thought I would something at work came up and I couldn't leave. But there is always next year. I hope that your classes go well and that you pass each one.
And by the way great choice on the anniversary gift.. lol..
Happy Veteran's Day, Happy Upcoming Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteKeep writing, especially your stories and memories. Your children and grandchildren will appreciate that gift most of all.
Good luck on finals!
