PICTURE OF THE DAY:
Fall and fog in Oregon.
And, here the woodpeckers were busy as well as the turkeys...
The Bruise likes to be close and he likes to sit on my printer.. so I keep
a towel on it...
And today is also a special anniversary celebrated by PJ and
Dave (my pals and neighbors). They have been hanging out together for the last
32 years! Congratulations kids!
I got the front grass mowed yesterday, filled a flat tire on the weed
sprayer, threw out stuff and took it to the trash can while Dude ran along (I
ran 5 Miles today!), weed-eated in the front yard, vacuumed. See, a day filled
with over the top excitement!
Today the door people are coming early to put a new door on my barn. Gotta
get the gate open and the barn unlocked. Sheesh ... too early for me!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.

November 11th
Veterans's
Day honors all members of the Armed Forces who who served this country
valiantly, and in a very big way. They served and fought to protect us, to keep
our country safe, and to preserve our way of life. Veterans gave their time, and
risked their lives for you and me. In some cases, they made the ultimate
sacrifice.
This
holiday originally was called Armistice Day and was first celebrated in 1921. In
1954, President Eisenhower changed it to Veteran's Day, in honor of those who
served and died from all wars.
On
November 11 at 11:11, 1921 the U.S. France and England each buried an unknown
soldier in honor of those who died in World War I. This began the annual
Armistice Day holiday. The time and day was picked because fighting ceased in
WWI in 1918 on November 11 at 11:11. In keeping with this tradition, work stops
on this day and time each year for a moment of silence.
